Requires iPhone 12 or newer. Models run on the device's graphics processor, and earlier iPhones cannot run them. ChindaGo is your daily life & emergency AI companion — an on-device AI assistant from iApp Technology. Answers are generated on your iPhone, so your conversations, your files and your questions do not leave the device. • Offline-first: works without internet, keeping your data private • No round trip: your question is answered on the phone, not sent to a server • Multilingual: fluent in Thai and English, interface included • Practical AI: helps with daily tasks, planning, and emergency guidance • Point your camera at it — photograph a receipt, a form, a label or a page of a contract and ask about it without leaving the app • Ask about your documents — attach a PDF, a text file or a photo, and text is read out of images as well • Choose your model — pick an open model in a size that fits your phone, or add any MLX model from Hugging Face or a folder on your device. Each one shows what it costs in space and memory before you download it • Decide what it is allowed to do — web search, Wikipedia lookups and reading your folders are each a switch, each asks before it runs, and one "Fully offline" switch closes all of them at once Nothing is uploaded unless you switch on a tool that needs the network — and when you do, only what that tool needs is sent. Stay connected, even when you're not. Wherever you go, ChindaGo is always ready to assist.

MLX-Serve is a private AI studio that runs entirely on your iPhone. Every conversation, voice recording, and generated image is processed on-device by open-weight models — nothing you type, say, or create ever leaves your phone. There is no account to create, no subscription, and no tracking of any kind. MUSIC Generate songs locally using your device ! You can also play it back in the background and use MLX-Serve as a player for your generated music on the go. CHAT Talk with capable open language models (Google Gemma 4) right on your device. Ask questions, brainstorm, draft messages, get things explained. Some models can even understand photos you attach. CALL Tap Call inside any conversation to talk to the AI hands-free, like a phone call. Your speech is transcribed on-device and the reply is read back aloud. Speaker and handset modes are both supported, and the transcript is saved to your chat. VOICE CLONE Record about eight seconds of your voice and have the AI speak text in your own voice, using an on-device text-to-speech model. Great for narration and fun. IMAGES Generate images from a text prompt with an on-device diffusion model (FLUX.2). Tap a result to zoom in, save it to your photo library, or share it. FULLY PRIVATE, FULLY OFFLINE - Runs 100% on-device using Apple MLX and the Metal GPU. - No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. - The network is used only to download the AI models you choose from Hugging Face. After a model is downloaded, that feature works offline. REQUIREMENTS Models are multi-gigabyte downloads and on-device AI is demanding, so MLX Chat requires a recent, high-performance iPhone. Download over Wi-Fi is recommended. You pick which models to download and can delete them anytime to reclaim space. Open models are provided under their respective licenses (Gemma, Apache 2.0). MLX Chat is an independent app and is not affiliated with Google or Apple.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iApp ChindaGo at none against MLX's 1. iApp ChindaGo also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). MLX's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
