About

My Local AI

Read full description

My Local AI lets you ask questions, think through ideas, and write with AI on your iPhone or iPad. Run downloaded models on your device, use Apple Intelligence on supported devices, or connect to models running on your own Mac or PC. The guided setup helps you download a small AI model and choose whether to enable Memory, Calendar and Reminders. Downloaded models run locally with MLX. Switch models and manage their storage in the app. Use bigger models on your own computer. Add LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp, Unsloth or another compatible model server in Settings > Your computers. Choose which models appear in the chat's model menu. When you select one, the app sends the conversation to your chosen computer for a reply. If the computer is unavailable, the model on your iPhone or iPad can answer instead, and the chat tells you when it does. You can turn this fallback off. Have a spoken conversation in Voice Mode, with speech recognition and voice generation on your device. Download an available voice, then choose your voice and speaking speed in Settings. Bring an image or document into a chat and ask about it. Image understanding requires a compatible vision model. Create Word documents, Excel workbooks, PowerPoint presentations, and drawings from your requests. Save details you want the assistant to remember, choose a persona that stays with each chat, and read replies with Markdown and code formatting. Chats are stored on your device by default. If you want them on your other devices, you can turn on iCloud Sync. Web search and weather are separate, optional tools. Calendar and Reminders are also optional; actions that change your calendar or create reminders require your approval. You do not need a My Local AI account. Downloads require an internet connection and sufficient storage. Downloaded AI and voice models run on your device; optional online tools require internet access. Connecting to your computer requires a compatible model server and a reachable network address. On-device model availability depends on your device's memory. Made by Olanrewaju Oyinbooke.

Do you often struggle to find a tool that truly fits what you need? Some tools are too heavy, with only a small part you actually use. Some seem close to what you want, but are filled with settings, screens, and workflows you do not need. Others may work, but the interface, style, or experience just does not feel right. MuseWare lets you describe your ideas in plain language and create lightweight tools made for you. Whether it is a checklist, tracker, calculator, planner, reading notes tool, travel helper, or a small utility built around your own workflow, you can start with a simple idea, preview it, refine it, and improve it over time. Stop adapting yourself to tools made for others. With MuseWare, create a tool that finally feels right for you.
