LM Mini vs Aegis Terminal

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.

Aegis is a private AI terminal for iPhone built for privacy-critical workflows. Connect to local or OpenAI-compatible model endpoints, run assistant tool calls on your device, and keep control of your trust boundaries. Aegis supports calendar and reminders workflows, coarse location for weather, document tools for PDF/TXT/DOC/DOCX context, and configurable custom JavaScript tools. Cloud delegation is optional. When enabled, Aegis can apply strict redaction policies before requests leave your device. Tool execution and model sources are explicitly configurable so you can enable only what you trust. Aegis is designed for local-first operation, with optional private-network setups (including Tailscale) and user-initiated diagnostics sharing.
