Every model is free. Every conversation stays on your iPhone. PocketLLM runs large language models entirely on-device using Apple Silicon. No cloud. No servers. No account. No internet needed once a model is downloaded. 36 MODELS, ALL FREE Download any model in the catalogue at no cost — from a 290 MB model that runs on older iPhones to an 8 GB model for iPad Pro and Mac. Qwen, Llama, Gemma, Phi, Mistral, DeepSeek, SmolLM, Granite and Liquid, plus Apple's built-in on-device model on supported devices. Six of them can see images. Unlimited messages. No daily cap. No paywall on any model, ever. BRING YOUR OWN MODEL Paste any HuggingFace repo and PocketLLM checks it against the on-device runtime before downloading a single byte — so you know it will actually run first. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics. No tracking. No telemetry. Conversations are stored only on your device. Turn on airplane-mode-enforced for a hard offline guarantee, and lock the app behind Face ID.
