One app for every AI. Lili AI Router connects to 24 AI providers — OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI (Grok), Perplexity, OpenRouter, Azure OpenAI and more — plus models that run entirely on your device. BRING YOUR OWN KEYS Use your own API keys. They are stored securely in the iOS Keychain, never on our servers — because there are no servers. Every conversation goes directly from your iPhone to the provider you chose. RUN AI OFFLINE Download GGUF models from Hugging Face and chat completely offline, powered by llama.cpp. Built-in memory estimator tells you which models fit your device before you download. BEAUTIFUL ANSWERS Responses render live as rich Markdown while they stream: headings, tables, lists, and code blocks with syntax highlighting and a copy button. Reasoning models show their thinking state. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT • Per-conversation model switching — compare providers mid-chat • Attach photos and files to your messages (vision models) • Full conversation history with search, rename, auto-generated titles • Export / import all your sessions as JSON — your data is portable • Connect to Ollama, LM Studio or llama.cpp servers on your local network • Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints for self-hosted setups PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No tracking. Conversations are stored only on your device. API keys live in the Keychain. What you write belongs to you. Lili AI Router requires API keys from AI providers (free tiers available from several providers) — or use free on-device and local-network models with no key at all.
