Read full descriptionHide full description
LoqAI is a private AI assistant that runs on your device. Besides chatting, it can now get things done in your mail, calendar, tasks, notes and contacts. Your conversations stay on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. NEW IN 2.0: AN ASSISTANT THAT TAKES ACTION Ask LoqAI to brief you on unread email, plan your day, add an event, create a reminder, save a note or find someone's email address. It picks the right tools and chains the steps itself, for example by looking up a contact and then drafting an email to them. MODULES • Mail — Connect any IMAP/SMTP account (iCloud, Gmail, Fastmail, GMX, WEB.DE and more). Read, search and reply, and let LoqAI summarize messages or draft answers. LoqAI connects directly to your mail provider and keeps your password in the Keychain. • Calendar — Your week at a glance. Create and edit events yourself or just ask. • Tasks — Your Reminders, sorted into overdue, today and upcoming. • Notes — Private notes stored on your device that LoqAI can save, search and update. • Contacts — Look up people, email addresses and phone numbers. Every module is optional. Turn modules on or off in Settings. LoqAI can only access your data after you grant permission. YOU STAY IN CONTROL LoqAI always asks before it sends an email or deletes anything. Every answer shows which tools were used, so you can see exactly what happened. TRULY PRIVATE AI The AI runs on your device. Your messages and conversations are not sent to a cloud AI service or to us. Mail only talks to your own mail provider. MULTIPLE AI OPTIONS • Apple Intelligence — Use Apple's built-in AI with no downloads required • Open-Source Models — Download and run powerful models from Hugging Face, including Qwen, Gemma, and more • Vision Models — Chat about images with multimodal AI that can see and understand photos WORKS OFFLINE Once a model is downloaded, you can chat anytime: on a plane, in the subway, or anywhere without internet. MORE TOOLS • Web reader, calculator, date and time • Football — Live scores and league standings NO SUBSCRIPTIONS LoqAI is free to use. No monthly fees, no token limits, no accounts required.
