Use the LLM running on your home or office machine — from the device in your hand. Ollama and LM Studio have no official mobile app. LLM Bridge fills that gap. ■ It finds your server One tap finds the Ollama and LM Studio servers on your network. No walking over to the other machine to look up an IP address. Entering a remote address by hand still works. ■ Your conversations stay on your device Everything is stored locally. No account, no subscription, no transcript uploaded anywhere. Searchable, and you can collect individual question-and-answer pairs as favorites. ■ Built for reading A transcript, not chat bubbles. Code is set apart so it reads as code, and when a model emits its reasoning it is shown separately from the answer. Each answer records which model wrote it and how long it took. ■ Whatever model you want Switch provider and model in the middle of a conversation. Deepseek, Llama, Gemma, Qwen, Mistral — whatever your Ollama serves. ■ Cloud too Add your own Claude or OpenAI API key and use them from the same screen. ■ Also · Attach photos, text and RTF files — with a vision model, a photo becomes a question · Take a picture and ask about it · Custom instructions (system prompt) plus Temperature, Top P and Top K · Copy or share a single turn, or the whole conversation · Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese Local LLMs require a computer running Ollama or LM Studio.

About

DDM Explorer

Features
Read full description

Jamf DDM Explorer is an app built to help IT administrators learn and understand Apple’s Declarative Device Management framework, allowing users to browse published declaration types compatible for both currently-shipping operating systems, as well as pre-release beta declarations published in available GitHub branches. Use this app for same-day declaration building as soon as documentation is released for available beta operating system versions. Browse and build payloads in a brand-new Declaration Explorer editor for deployment as custom declarations to test devices, and deploy with your device management system for testing. All declaration objects are sourced directly from Apple’s GitHub, allowing for loading pre-release branch documentation, when available. Once declarations are deployed and activated, use the Status Explorer view to view your test device’s current declarative status reports, including available status subscriptions. Status documentation is also built in-line with the Status Explorer viewer for reference. Note: Features such as reading a test device’s status reports require an integration with Jamf Pro.
