About

LocalEngine

Features
Read full description

LocalEngine runs open-source AI language models entirely on your iPhone and iPad. Everything happens on-device: your prompts, conversations, and images never leave your device and are never sent to any server. Built in pure Swift with SwiftUI, LocalEngine runs models through a Metal-accelerated llama.cpp engine, so you get fast, low-latency AI completely offline โ€” no account, no sign-in, no cloud. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Chat โ€” Hold multi-turn conversations with a local model. Replies stream token-by-token in real time. Start a new chat or stop a response at any time. โ€ข See images โ€” Turn on vision in Settings, attach photos to your message, and ask about them. Images are understood entirely on-device by a vision-capable model. โ€ข Download models โ€” Browse a curated catalog of open models and download the one that fits your device. Downloads run as resumable background jobs with live progress, and the screen can stay awake while a large model downloads. โ€ข Tune generation โ€” Adjust the response length (max tokens) and the temperature to shape how the model replies. โ€ข Unlock larger models โ€” LocalEngine is free to use with starter models. A one-time Pro upgrade unlocks larger catalog downloads on iPhone and iPad. CURATED MODELS LocalEngine is ready to chat out of the box with a small, fast default model, and its catalog includes compact vision-language models you can grow into: โ€ข Qwen3.5 โ€” 0.8B and 2B free, with 4B available through Pro โ€ข Gemma 4 โ€” E2B free, with E4B available through Pro Smaller models are quick and light on storage; larger Pro models are more capable on newer devices. Each vision model pairs with a multimodal projector so it can understand images โ€” all on-device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข 100% on-device inference โ€” no cloud, no telemetry, no analytics. โ€ข No account and no sign-in required. โ€ข Runs fully offline once a model is downloaded. โ€ข Built to App Store privacy and security standards. REQUIREMENTS โ€ข iOS / iPadOS 17.0 or later โ€ข A recent iPhone or iPad is recommended, especially for the larger models โ€ข Free storage space for the models you choose to download LocalEngine puts the power of modern AI โ€” text and vision โ€” in your pocket, without giving up your privacy.

Verdict

The call

Offline Video Locker and LocalEngine are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
