Your AI. Your models. Your device. Pebble Mind is a private, local-first AI workspace for running language and multimodal models on iPhone and iPad. Powered by llama.cpp, it brings local AI chat to your device without an account, API key, or remote inference service. Download a compatible model and keep chats and llama.cpp inference on device. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your conversations, attachments, settings, and downloaded models are stored locally. Prompts sent to downloaded llama.cpp models do not need to leave your device. Web Search is optional; when enabled, it can access current web information and show sources in your conversation. CHOOSE YOUR MODEL Browse text and multimodal models in one library. Check download size, device compatibility, memory requirements, and availability. Download GGUF models, switch between models, and manage storage in the app. MORE THAN TEXT Compatible multimodal models can work with photos, camera captures, PDFs, documents, and extracted text—all in the familiar chat experience.
