Your AI. Your choice. LocalMind brings Ollama, LM Studio and on-device AI models to your iPhone or iPad. Choose where your AI runs and keep control of your conversations. CONNECT OR RUN LOCALLY Connect your Ollama or LM Studio server, use OpenRouter, Requesty or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or download a supported model to run on your device.
