Mycellm turns your iPhone or iPad into a node on a distributed AI inference network. Run open LLMs on your own hardware โ€” no account, no telemetry, no cloud middleman. Use it three ways, and own every layer. LOCAL โ€” ON YOUR DEVICE Load a model and run inference entirely on-device. Fully offline, airplane-mode friendly. On-device Privacy Guard scans prompts for secrets before anything hits the wire. TRUSTED DEVICES โ€” YOUR OWN NETWORK Point your phone at a node you trust โ€” your Mac Studio, your iPad Pro, your homelab โ€” and run models far bigger than any single device could hold. Your phone stays light; a machine you own does the heavy lifting. No cloud. PUBLIC โ€” THE FREE NETWORK Tap the public mycellm net: open models served by GPUs worldwide. Earn credits by serving spare compute, spend them to run larger models. Peer-to-peer, no subscription. FEDERATE Stand up your own network with its own trust policy and credit ledger, mint invite tokens, and bridge trusted networks with cross-network routing. You decide membership, models, and data flow. UNLEASH THE iPAD PRO An iPad Pro (M4/M5) is a serious AI machine that sits idle most of the day. Put it to work: more unified memory runs larger models, Metal delivers 30+ tok/s on multi-billion-parameter models. Serve your iPhone, your team, or the network โ€” first-class on any device that runs a model. FOR PEOPLE WHO RUN THEIR OWN STACK - Serves the same chat-completions REST API your tools already speak โ€” point curl, Claude Code, or your own clients at your device. - Vision models: attach an image and ask, on-device. - Live dashboard: tok/s, credits, peers, node health. - Auto hardware-fit: picks quantizations that match your RAM. - Open source, Apache 2.0. Audit it, fork it, run it. No black boxes, no lock-in. It's BitTorrent for LLMs โ€” every node both uses the network and makes it stronger. Full docs and use cases at mycellm.dev. Bring your own models, keep your data, and run AI on your terms.

About

NotiSync

Features
Read full description

NotiSync brings notifications from your other devices to your iPhone, while keeping notification content encrypted in transit. Pair your iPhone with NotiSync on your other devices, choose what should be mirrored, and receive native iOS alerts for messages, email, events, reminders, and app notifications. Mirrored notifications are decrypted on device and can include sender avatars, conversation-style messages, and attachments when the source device provides them. Features: - End-to-end encrypted notification mirroring across trusted devices - QR code and pairing-link setup with verified device identities - Safety numbers and key fingerprints for trust checks - Native iOS notification rendering through APNs, foreground delivery, relay fetch, and background refresh paths - Synced dismissals, so clearing a mirrored notification can clear it across your trusted devices - Per-device, per-app, and notification channel controls to silence what you do not want on your iPhone - Inbox, trusted device list, activity log, delivery diagnostics, and route status - Private asset handling for icons, avatars, and attachments without exposing notification content to the relay - Signed trust updates and key rotation for long-running device meshes NotiSync is built for people who use more than one phone or device and want important alerts nearby without forwarding readable notification content through a server. The relay coordinates delivery, but it only handles encrypted envelopes and routing metadata. Requires NotiSync on at least one paired device and notification permission on this iPhone. Some features depend on the source platform, device permissions, relay availability, and OS support.
