Run powerful AI models directly on your iPhone — no internet required, no data ever leaves your device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every response is generated on your device using Apple's Metal GPU. No API keys. No cloud. No tracking. No account. ASK ACROSS YOUR DOCUMENTS Save contracts, manuals or notes to your library, then ask about them from any chat. The passages that answer your question are found for you, so a long PDF no longer has to be cut short. Every answer shows which file it came from. CREATE IMAGES Describe a picture and it's generated on your device. Nothing you type or make is uploaded. SEE AND SPEAK Vision models read text in photos and describe what they see. Voice mode reads replies aloud, hands-free. BROWSE & DOWNLOAD MODELS Explore curated categories — Reasoning, Coding, General and Creative — filtered to fit your device's RAM. Search HuggingFace live to find any model. CHAT MODES & PERSONAS Seven response modes — LaTeX, Code, Concise, Step-by-step, ELI5, Formal and Email Reply. Give your AI a custom Persona with a name, icon and system prompt. WEB SEARCH Research Mode searches the web before responding, so any model can answer about current events. Off by default. STAY INFORMED The Discover tab surfaces the latest AI news, updated through the day. OPTIMIZED FOR IPHONE Best results on iPhone 15 Pro and later with 8GB RAM.

Your AI. Your hardware. Your pocket. *Now with models that run on your iPhone! Generate any image you want, all locally, no internet needed!* Localzie connects your iPhone to the AI models and coding agents already running on your own computer - whether they are hosted on your machine or on a provider such as OpenRouter. Localzie automatically discovers what's running on your home. No IP addresses, no ports, no config files - it finds your servers, harnesses, and models on its own. Pair once, and you're in. Works with the OpenAI-compatible runtimes you already use - Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, vLLM, and more - plus agent harnesses like OpenCode and Hermes. Bare models and full agents are both first-class citizens. Stay in the loop, even when you're not looking Walk away mid-generation - Localzie keeps going and notifies you when your prompt finishes. Answer questions your agent asks you directly from the app, pick up sessions your harness started in the terminal, and watch active conversations live. When you're ready to jump in, just start typing - you take over seamlessly.
