Mycellm turns your iPhone or iPad into a node on a distributed AI inference network. Run open LLMs on your own hardware — no account, no telemetry, no cloud middleman. Use it three ways, and own every layer. LOCAL — 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 — YOUR OWN NETWORK Point your phone at a node you trust — your Mac Studio, your iPad Pro, your homelab — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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.

Take control of your internet traffic. Rocket Proxy is a full proxy client and network utility for iPhone and iPad — rule-based routing, network-level ad blocking and traffic inspection, on RocketCore, an engine we wrote from scratch in C. Already have a setup? Bring it as it is. Rocket Proxy reads Shadowrocket .conf files and Clash or Stash YAML natively — no rewriting, no converting. BRING THE SETUP YOU ALREADY HAVE • Shadowrocket .conf, with your rules, hosts, MITM, rewrites and Map Local intact • Clash & Stash YAML in full: proxies, proxy groups, rules, providers and DNS • Proxy groups: select, url-test, fallback, load-balance and relay • Rule providers and proxy providers, refreshed on their own schedule • Subscription links, QR codes, plain or base64 lists, ss:// vmess:// vless:// trojan:// and the rest • A diagnostics report on every import, and export back out as clean YAML 36 TESTED PROTOCOL AND TRANSPORT COMBINATIONS 21 protocols on one fast engine: • Shadowsocks, Shadowsocks 2022, ShadowsocksR, VMess, VLESS, Trojan • Hysteria, Hysteria 2, TUIC, Juicity, AnyTLS, Snell • WireGuard and AmneziaWG, full IPv4/IPv6 dual stack • OpenConnect, Brook, Mieru, SSH, SOCKS5, HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP2 Pair any of them with the transport that gets you through: Reality, WebSocket, gRPC, HTTPUpgrade, xHTTP, xHTTP over HTTP/3, mKCP, Mux.Cool, ShadowTLS v3, Cloak, kcptun, v2ray-plugin and obfs. We test all 36 on real hardware before every release — concurrent page loads, sustained transfers, video playback and a packet-level DNS leak check on each one. YOUR DNS STAYS IN THE TUNNEL Every lookup is resolved through the tunnel, verified by packet capture rather than a web page. DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS and DNS over QUIC built in, or bring your own resolver. ROUTING THAT DOES WHAT YOU SAY • Match on domain, suffix, keyword, wildcard, regex, IP range, ASN, country, port or user agent • Combine them with AND, OR and NOT • Smart Route ranks servers by measured latency and connects to the fastest one that actually answers • Import a provider's entire rule set from a single link REWRITE, REDIRECT, INSPECT • URL, header and body rewrites • Map Local to answer a request from a local file • HTTPS inspection for the hosts you choose • JavaScript rules to intercept and rewrite requests on the fly BUILT FOR THE PHONE • Interactive connection globe showing your route in real time • Dynamic Island and Live Activities for speed, data and status at a glance • iCloud sync pushes your servers to your Mac and Apple TV • Local Only mode when you want the app without a proxy • More than 20 languages PRIVATE BY DESIGN We do not collect, store or transmit your traffic or personal data. There is no analytics SDK in this app. ROCKET PROXY PREMIUM • Premium Monthly — auto-renewable subscription, billed monthly Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
