PrivacyLLM is a complete AI assistant that runs entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. Your conversations, your documents, and the model's reasoning never leave your device β because there's no server for them to go to. Most AI apps send everything you type to someone else's computers. PrivacyLLM is built on the opposite idea: a genuinely capable assistant can live in your pocket, with your data staying yours. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β’ The language model runs on your device's GPU. Your prompts are never sent to a cloud AI provider. β’ Nothing to breach: we run no servers and store none of your data. There is no database of your conversations to be hacked, leaked, or subpoenaed β it doesn't exist. β’ Works fully offline. Apart from optional web search, every feature works in airplane mode. β’ No analytics, no ads, no telemetry of any kind. Our App Privacy label says it plainly: Data Not Collected. WHAT IT DOES β’ Chat with a fast, modern assistant β replies stream in token by token, with full Markdown and syntax-highlighted code. β’ Fast and Thinking modes: switch between a quick model and a more deliberate one that shows its reasoning before it answers. β’ Gets things done: add a calendar event, set a reminder, or start a call or text, just by asking. Off by default, and iOS confirms before anything is dialled or sent. β’ Remembers you: a few short facts, used in every chat, visible and deletable in Settings. β’ Chat with your PDFs: import a document and ask questions about it. The text is extracted and indexed on-device, and the answer tells you which section it came from. β’ Voice Memos & podcasts: turn any text, a PDF, or a whole conversation into audio and listen on-device, with playback that resumes where you left off. β’ Optional web search: when you turn it on, only short keyword queries go to a privacy-respecting search engine (DuckDuckGo by default) β never your conversation. Search is OFF by default. β’ Voice input: dictate messages using Apple's on-device speech recognition. No audio ever leaves your phone. β’ Search every chat, clear a chat's context without losing it, and see your context and token usage any time. YOU'RE IN CONTROL β’ Choose your model and download it once, directly to your device. The list stays current, and you can bring your own. β’ Lock the app behind Face ID. Add a home screen widget for one tap in. β’ Everything is stored locally and encrypted, readable only on your iPhone. β’ Open and inspectable β you don't have to take our word for any of this. PrivacyLLM is free, with no ads and no subscriptions. Your AI assistant belongs where your data does: on your device, in your hands. REQUIREMENTS A recent iPhone with enough memory is recommended for the larger models. A network connection is needed only for the one-time model download and for optional web search.
