OnDevice LLM runs powerful open-source AI models 100% on your iPhone — no internet, no cloud, no account. Your conversations never leave the device. Every word you type, every reply you get, stays on your phone. There is no server to log it, no company to mine it, no account that can be banned. NEW: ASK ABOUT YOUR PHOTOS - Add a photo in chat and ask about it: what's the total on this receipt, when does this event start, what does this form ask for. - Runs on your iPhone like everything else. Works in airplane mode. - Pick "MiniCPM-V 4.7 1B (Vision)" in Models.
