Your Phone Is Now an AI Server LLM Server turns your iPhone or iPad into a private AI inference server. Run large language models entirely on-device, expose an OpenAI-compatible API to your local network, and chat with your model from any browser on any device โ laptop, desktop, tablet, even another phone. No cloud, no subscription, no data leaving your hardware. Chat From Any Browser on Your Network Start the server and open the URL on any device sharing your Wi-Fi. The built-in web interface gives you a clean chat UI instantly โ no client app to install, no account to create. Your laptop, your partner's tablet, a colleague's machine: all talking to a model running on your phone. OpenAI-Compatible API, Drop-In Ready A standard OpenAI-compatible API means LLM Server slots into any tool you already use โ Continue, Open WebUI, LangChain, custom scripts, the lot. Chat completions, text completions, streaming (SSE), and model listing endpoints all supported. Ollama CLI commands work too. Fully Offline, Fully Yours - Download a GGUF model once and you're done with the cloud. Inference runs locally on Apple Metal GPU with no internet required. Your prompts, your conversations, your data โ none of it leaves the device. Airplane mode works fine.

Sending a bank statement, a lease, a payslip or a photo of your ID? QuietRedact finds the private parts and hides them permanently โ without your document ever leaving your iPhone. FOUND FOR YOU, AUTOMATICALLY Open a PDF, photo or screenshot and QuietRedact reads it on-device: names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, IBANs, card and account numbers, ID numbers, dates of birth and faces. YOU STAY IN CONTROL Every finding is shown as a box you can switch on or off, page by page. Missed something? Draw over it with your finger. Nothing is hidden without you seeing it first. PERMANENT, NOT A BLACK RECTANGLE Most apps draw a black box on top of the text โ and any PDF reader can lift it off again. QuietRedact rebuilds every page as new pixels. The covered content is gone from the file. Try it yourself: open an export and see that there is nothing left to select underneath. 100% ON DEVICE There is no server, no cloud OCR, no account and no sign-up. Your documents are never uploaded โ not to us, not to anyone. Works in airplane mode. BUILT FOR REAL DOCUMENTS โข Multi-page PDFs, scans and rotated pages โข Photos, screenshots and HEIC images โข Files, iCloud Drive and Photos import โข 15 languages, including full right-to-left support QUIETREDACT PRO Importing, detection, reviewing and manual redaction are always free and unlimited. Exporting your finished, permanently redacted file requires Pro โ available monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. The Lifetime option is a one-time purchase and does not renew.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: QuietRedact at Free against LLM Server's $19.99. LLM Server's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
