LM Mini vs NAS Guard

Chat with LM Studio, Ollama, and oMLX from your iPhone — or run on-device models offline. Private local AI on hardware you control. No cloud chat subscription required. THREE WAYS TO USE IT 1. On-device — download a model and chat with no internet 2. Connected — LM Studio, Ollama, Jan AI, or oMLX over Wi‑Fi or USB 3. Remote — LM Mini Connect from anywhere, encrypted with your key One app for phone-side models and your desktop local setup. WHAT TO EXPECT Phone models are not the same as huge hosted models in a data center. They are smaller, and that is expected. Performance will vary by hardware. What you gain is control: offline use, private chats on your device or your home machine, and freedom to run the open models you choose. BUILT FOR - People already running LM Studio, Ollama, oMLX or Jan AI who want that stack in their pocket - People who want on-device chat when they are offline or away from Wi-Fi - People who care about keeping conversations off third-party chat servers - Researchers, builders, and privacy-minded users experimenting with local AI INSIDE THE APP - Download and run on-device models on your phone - Connect to LM Studio, Ollama, Jan AI and oMLX - Remote access through LM Mini Connect with your encryption key - Manage and download models on LM Studio from your phone - Local conversation history, folders, and context usage tracking - Personas, plus group chat with up to 5 models in one conversation - Voice chat with Kokoro - Image generation with ComfyUI and Automatic1111 - Web search through SearXNG - Memory so your AI can remember details about you - On-device semantic search across your chats - Background generation, so you don't have to sit and stare at the screen - Themes, backgrounds, and avatars - Import chats from LM Studio - Optional encrypted cloud backups - Custom servers with custom headers - Optional APIs when you want them: OpenAI, OpenRouter, Mistral, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, and more - MCP tool calling - In-app support and feature requests - Dark mode and a chat UI meant for daily use PRIVACY For local use, chats stay on your phone, or between your phone and your own computer. We don't need your conversations to make that core local path work. If you choose optional cloud APIs, those requests go to the provider you pick. SETUP On-device: a compatible phone with enough free storage and memory for the model you pick. Connected mode: LM Studio, Ollama, or oMLX on your computer, plus local network or USB access, or LM Mini Connect for remote use. Install LM Mini and keep your local AI with you. Download LM Mini today and start chatting with your local AI models privately and securely!

NAS Guard – keep an eye on your TrueNAS, right from your iPhone. NAS Guard connects to your TrueNAS server over the encrypted WebSocket API (JSON-RPC) and shows your system's status and health clearly and in real time. MONITORING (free) - Dashboard: CPU, RAM, network throughput, load - Pools & datasets: capacity, status, scrub state - Disks: health, temperatures, ZFS errors (read/write/checksum) - Disk health forecast: drive health trend - Apps/containers, VMs and services: running status - View data protection: snapshots, Cloud Sync, Replication, Rsync, TrueCloud, Cron - Shares: SMB, NFS, iSCSI, NVMe-oF - Security & certificates, network interfaces, UPS - Your NAS system alerts FILES & PREVIEW (free) - Browse your NAS file system folder by folder, with size and modification date, folders first, and pull-to-refresh. - Rich Quick Look preview: photos (JPEG, PNG, GIF, HEIC, WebP, TIFF, BMP), PDF, plain text and code (JSON, XML, YAML, shell, Python, Swift, JS/TS, SQL and more) and office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, Numbers, Keynote). - Built-in audio player (MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, M4A and more) with a live spectrum and waveform visualizer. - Video: MP4, MOV and M4V play directly (stream-optimized files stream without a full download). DO MORE WITH THE OPTIONAL AGENT (free, self-hosted) The NAS Guard Agent is a small container you install on your TrueNAS in one tap – just pick a pool and a port, no shell or compose editing. It keeps itself up to date automatically and adds: - Real-time alerts: get notified about outages and important events even when the app can't reach your NAS directly – faster and more reliable than background polling. - Live Activities (Control Pack): follow long-running jobs (scrub, resilver, replication, Cloud Sync, Rsync) live on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, updated in the background even when the app is closed. - Full media streaming: play video of any size instantly with no download, and open containers Apple can't handle natively (MKV, AVI and more) via on-the-fly HLS remux – with hardware-accelerated transcoding on Intel/AMD GPUs when available. - Runs entirely on your own NAS. IN-APP PURCHASES – honest and transparent Free: - 1 server profile - Full read/monitoring feature set, files & preview, and the optional agent Unlimited Servers (one-time purchase): - As many server profiles as you like - Background monitoring of all servers (free: only the selected one) Control Pack (one-time purchase) – unlocks all control features: - Power: shut down, reboot and wake your NAS via Wake-on-LAN - Apps/containers: start, stop, redeploy, update (single & all) - VMs: start, stop, restart - Services: start/stop - Pools: start/stop scrub - Datasets: create, edit, delete, lock/unlock - Shares: create and enable/disable (SMB, NFS, iSCSI, NVMe-oF) - Data protection: run/abort/toggle Snapshot, Cloud Sync, Replication, Rsync, TrueCloud and Cron tasks - Live Activities (with paired agent) - AI assistant: ask questions about your NAS – fully on-device via Apple Intelligence, no cloud Tip (optional): small, medium or large support for development. Unlocks no features. GOOD TO KNOW - Without the Control Pack the app is fully usable read-only – you won't control anything by accident. - Wake-on-LAN must be enabled on your NAS first (BIOS/UEFI + network card) and only works on your local network, not remotely. - The AI assistant requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device with Apple Intelligence enabled. - All purchases are one-time – no subscriptions. NAS Guard is an independent project and is not affiliated with iXsystems or TrueNAS.
