PrivacyLLM

PrivacyLLM is a complete AI assistant that runs entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. Your conversations, your documents, and the model's reasoning never leave your device — because there's no server for them to go to. Most AI apps send everything you type to someone else's computers. PrivacyLLM is built on the opposite idea: a genuinely capable assistant can live in your pocket, with your data staying yours. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The language model runs on your device's GPU. Your prompts are never sent to a cloud AI provider. • Nothing to breach: we run no servers and store none of your data. There is no database of your conversations to be hacked, leaked, or subpoenaed — it doesn't exist. • Works fully offline. Apart from optional web search, every feature works in airplane mode. • No analytics, no ads, no telemetry of any kind. Our App Privacy label says it plainly: Data Not Collected. WHAT IT DOES • Chat with a fast, modern assistant — replies stream in token by token, with full Markdown and syntax-highlighted code. • Fast and Thinking modes: switch between a quick model and a more deliberate one that shows its reasoning before it answers. • Gets things done: add a calendar event, set a reminder, or start a call or text, just by asking. Off by default, and iOS confirms before anything is dialled or sent. • Remembers you: a few short facts, used in every chat, visible and deletable in Settings. • Chat with your PDFs: import a document and ask questions about it. The text is extracted and indexed on-device, and the answer tells you which section it came from. • Voice Memos & podcasts: turn any text, a PDF, or a whole conversation into audio and listen on-device, with playback that resumes where you left off. • Optional web search: when you turn it on, only short keyword queries go to a privacy-respecting search engine (DuckDuckGo by default) — never your conversation. Search is OFF by default. • Voice input: dictate messages using Apple's on-device speech recognition. No audio ever leaves your phone. • Search every chat, clear a chat's context without losing it, and see your context and token usage any time. YOU'RE IN CONTROL • Choose your model and download it once, directly to your device. The list stays current, and you can bring your own. • Lock the app behind Face ID. Add a home screen widget for one tap in. • Everything is stored locally and encrypted, readable only on your iPhone. • Open and inspectable — you don't have to take our word for any of this. PrivacyLLM is free, with no ads and no subscriptions. Your AI assistant belongs where your data does: on your device, in your hands. REQUIREMENTS A recent iPhone with enough memory is recommended for the larger models. A network connection is needed only for the one-time model download and for optional web search.
