Transfqr vs MLX

Transfqr sends files from one phone to another using light. Pick anything up to 50 MB - a photo, a PDF, a voice memo, a ZIP - and the app streams it as live QR codes on your screen. Point the other phone's camera at it and the file rebuilds itself in seconds. Works on a plane, in a basement, off-grid. No internet, no accounts, no cloud. HOW IT WORKS 1. SEND - open Transfqr, tap "Send a file", pick anything from your library. 2. WATCH - Transfqr breaks the file into fountain-coded chunks and broadcasts them as QR codes, around 12 frames per second. The lighthouse mascot blinks while broadcasting. 3. CATCH - on the other phone, open Transfqr, tap "Catch a file", aim the camera at the sender. Progress fills as chunks arrive. Done when the bar is full. PRIVACY BY DESIGN - No server. There is no Transfqr backend. Files never leave the two devices. - No account. No email, phone number, or identifier required. - Camera permission is used only to scan QR codes from the sender. - Storage permission writes the received file to your library. - Anonymous analytics and crash reporting are opt-in, both anonymous, both toggleable in Settings. WHAT YOU CAN SEND - Photos and videos from your library - PDFs, ZIPs, voice memos, documents, anything else under 50 MB - Multiple files in sequence (one transfer at a time) WHEN IT SHINES - Sending a file to someone with no Wi-Fi or cellular signal - Cross-platform transfers (iPhone to Android, no AirDrop dependency) - Privacy-sensitive contexts (no cloud trail, no metadata in third-party servers) - Anyone tired of "upload to cloud, send link, wait for download" Light. Local. Yours.

MLX-Serve is a private AI studio that runs entirely on your iPhone. Every conversation, voice recording, and generated image is processed on-device by open-weight models — nothing you type, say, or create ever leaves your phone. There is no account to create, no subscription, and no tracking of any kind. MUSIC Generate songs locally using your device ! You can also play it back in the background and use MLX-Serve as a player for your generated music on the go. CHAT Talk with capable open language models (Google Gemma 4) right on your device. Ask questions, brainstorm, draft messages, get things explained. Some models can even understand photos you attach. CALL Tap Call inside any conversation to talk to the AI hands-free, like a phone call. Your speech is transcribed on-device and the reply is read back aloud. Speaker and handset modes are both supported, and the transcript is saved to your chat. VOICE CLONE Record about eight seconds of your voice and have the AI speak text in your own voice, using an on-device text-to-speech model. Great for narration and fun. IMAGES Generate images from a text prompt with an on-device diffusion model (FLUX.2). Tap a result to zoom in, save it to your photo library, or share it. FULLY PRIVATE, FULLY OFFLINE - Runs 100% on-device using Apple MLX and the Metal GPU. - No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. - The network is used only to download the AI models you choose from Hugging Face. After a model is downloaded, that feature works offline. REQUIREMENTS Models are multi-gigabyte downloads and on-device AI is demanding, so MLX Chat requires a recent, high-performance iPhone. Download over Wi-Fi is recommended. You pick which models to download and can delete them anytime to reclaim space. Open models are provided under their respective licenses (Gemma, Apache 2.0). MLX Chat is an independent app and is not affiliated with Google or Apple.
