LocalEngine

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 ā no account, no sign-in, no cloud. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Chat ā 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. ⢠See images ā 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. ⢠Download models ā 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. ⢠Tune generation ā Adjust the response length (max tokens) and the temperature to shape how the model replies. ⢠Unlock larger models ā 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: ⢠Qwen3.5 ā 0.8B and 2B free, with 4B available through Pro ⢠Gemma 4 ā 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 ā all on-device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠100% on-device inference ā no cloud, no telemetry, no analytics. ⢠No account and no sign-in required. ⢠Runs fully offline once a model is downloaded. ⢠Built to App Store privacy and security standards. REQUIREMENTS ⢠iOS / iPadOS 17.0 or later ⢠A recent iPhone or iPad is recommended, especially for the larger models ⢠Free storage space for the models you choose to download LocalEngine puts the power of modern AI ā text and vision ā in your pocket, without giving up your privacy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LocalEngine at none against Wishmere's shown. LocalEngine also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
