YOUR PERSONAL LOCAL AI AGENT BonzAI turns your iPhone, iPad, or Mac into a personal AI agent: chat, reason, analyze files, run research, and automate tasks from an interface designed for the Apple ecosystem. YOUR DATA STAYS UNDER CONTROL BonzAI prioritizes local execution when you choose it, and lets you connect external services only when you need them. Your conversations, history, and files remain under your control. By favoring local execution, BonzAI also helps reduce cloud dependency and reliance on energy-hungry remote infrastructure. ANALYZE DOCUMENTS AND IMAGES Summarize, question, and transform PDFs, CSV, JSON, text files, and images. With a compatible model, analysis can stay on your device to help protect the privacy of your content. STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE WEB Run personal research, explore current news, or ask for a clear summary of important trends. BonzAI can use web search to find, compare, and summarize useful information. CONNECT YOUR TOOLS BonzAI can use built-in tools such as weather, web search, and location. With MCP, connect your favorite services such as Home Assistant, Notion, Google Drive, or your own servers — only when you choose to. AUTOMATE WITH SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Use BonzAI with Siri and the Shortcuts app: ask BonzAI, analyze an image, analyze a document, create or open a conversation, prewarm a local model, and build agentic routines. CHOOSE YOUR AI Use Apple Intelligence, local open-source models (such as Gemma, Qwen, Phi, Mistral, Llama, DeepSeek, and more), local servers (such as Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or llama.cpp), or remote API providers when you need more power. FOR ADVANCED USERS BonzAI relies on llama.cpp to run efficient GGUF models on Apple devices. Download models from Hugging Face, tune inference parameters, create custom AI personas, and adapt BonzAI to your workflow. BonzAI: the AI agent that takes root on your devices, not in the cloud.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Share Server at 100% against BonzAI's 75%. Share Server also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). BonzAI's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
