Your AI. Your phone. Your rules. Pocket AI runs real open-source AI models directly on your iPhone. Download a model once, then chat completely offline: on the train, on a plane, in a tunnel, or anywhere with no signal. Your prompts and replies are generated on-device and stay on your phone. CHAT THAT RUNS ON YOUR DEVICE • 34 open LLMs to choose from: Qwen, Llama, Gemma, SmolLM, Ministral, Granite, Phi, DeepSeek distills and more. • Real on-device inference powered by llama.cpp with Metal acceleration and live token streaming. • Pick a model to match your iPhone: lightweight models fly on iPhone 12/13, larger models shine on the newest Pro devices. • Once a model is downloaded, chat works with no internet, no account, and no sign-in. TALK TO IT: ON-DEVICE VOICE (PRO) • Speak instead of type. Voice input is transcribed locally with an on-device Whisper model, included in the one-time Pro unlock. • Your audio is processed on your phone and is not uploaded to any server. START EVERY DAY FOCUSED (PRO) • Daily Brief turns the Calendar events and Reminders you choose into a focused, readable plan. • Works with Apple Health: with your permission, Pocket AI uses HealthKit to read sleep, steps and workouts (read-only) and adds one line about your day to your brief. Health data stays on your device. • Connect and refresh read-only sources from the new Sources screen. Source content is processed locally and never uploaded. • Refresh whenever you want, or let Pocket AI prepare one brief per day on-device. If notifications are already allowed, Pocket AI can let you know when it is ready. • Clear progress, numbered same-day briefs, and grounded summaries help you see what matters without losing the source context. ONE-TAP WIDGETS • Start a New Chat or Continue your latest conversation from redesigned Home Screen widgets. • Quick actions also work across supported Lock Screen widget sizes. MAKE IT YOURS • 9 built-in personas, from ELI5 and Study Buddy to Code Helper, Writing Coach and Translator. • 8 on-device tools: summarize, fix grammar, translate and more, powered by your local model. • A 26-item marketplace of ready-made custom instructions, plus your own unlimited custom instructions. • Daily challenges and streaks to keep exploring what your local models can do. • Liquid-Glass design that feels right at home on iOS. PRIVACY YOU CAN REASON ABOUT • Your conversations, prompts and voice audio are processed on-device and never sent to an AI server. There is no cloud model answering you. • Calendar events, Reminders and Apple Health data used for Daily Brief stay on your device and can be disconnected or deleted from Pocket AI at any time. • Optional usage analytics sends content-free product interactions to PostHog and Firebase/Google Analytics to improve reliability. Disable it any time in Privacy settings. Chat text, prompts, voice audio, Calendar events, Reminders, Health data and Daily Brief content are never included. • RevenueCat manages the optional Pro purchase using an anonymous app identifier and purchase history. Internet is also used for the model and voice-pack downloads you choose. Everyday chatting works in airplane mode. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PRO UNLOCK • Free: 15 messages per day, 1 downloaded model, 3 personas and 3 tools. • Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase. No subscription. It unlocks unlimited daily messages, all 34 models, every persona and tool, Daily Brief, on-device voice input, the full marketplace, and a deeper generation queue. WHY POCKET AI • Built for real iPhones, including older ones, not just the latest flagship. • Open models, on your terms. • The AI that still works when everything else doesn't. Download a model and start chatting in under two minutes.

About

PresentSync

Features
Read full description

PresentSync is built for in-person meetings, training sessions, presentations, and review discussions. In many real-world meeting rooms, the challenge is not the content itself. The challenge is making the point clearly, getting everyone focused on the same thing, and keeping communication smooth when several people are involved. PresentSync helps with exactly that. A session starts on desktop, and participants join from mobile by scanning a QR code or entering a meeting code. There is no need to crowd around one computer or rely on complicated equipment. It is a simple way to support clearer, more natural communication around the same screen. Great for: Meeting room presentations and discussions Training and on-site instruction Proposal walkthroughs and design reviews Sales demos and client-facing presentations Internal team communication in the same room Key features: Desktop starts the session, mobile joins quickly Join by QR code or meeting code Designed for same-room collaboration, not remote conferencing Makes explaining and pointing things out more direct Reduces confusion during live discussion Lightweight, practical, and easy to use Why PresentSync: PresentSync focuses on a common but often overlooked need: better screen collaboration in face-to-face settings. It helps teams align faster, explain ideas more clearly, and move discussions forward with less friction. Who it is for: Sales teams, trainers, presenters, product teams, designers, project leads, and anyone who regularly explains ideas in person. PresentSync helps you turn everyday meetings and walkthroughs into clearer, more effective communication moments.
