Wiki LLM is a home for your knowledge on iPhone and iPad. Keep each subject as a topic, split it into subtopics, and read it as clean, linked pages. Your wiki is plain files in a folder you control: topics are folders and pages are self-contained HTML. Nothing is locked into a proprietary format, and you can open the same pages in any browser. WHY "LLM" Large language models are good at writing and maintaining well-linked pages. Use an AI agent on your computer to build a wiki, then read and organise it here. The iPhone and iPad app does not include an AI model and does not upload your pages. KEY FEATURES • Topics and subtopics: organise everything as folders, with numbered subtopics that keep their order. • Rich pages: read self-contained HTML pages with diagrams, callouts and interactive questions, all offline. • Linked knowledge: follow standard links and [[wikilinks]] between pages. • Tags: tag pages and find related ones across topics. • Markdown files: open and edit .md notes with live preview. • Open any folder: point the app at a folder from Files, or use the built-in library. • Light and dark appearance, which your pages follow. • No account needed: a short welcome topic is ready the first time you open the app. YOUR DATA No sign-in, no tracking. Your pages stay in the folder you choose.
Phantasm

Phantasm is a private AI chat client for the backend you already run. Point it at your own server: Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint and chat with your own models over your own network. No account, no middleman, no data collection. YOUR SERVER, YOUR RULES • Connect with just a URL and a token — works against a bare Ollama out of the box • Add the open-source Phantasm orchestrator to unlock web search, image generation, and research modes • Multiple backend profiles for home network, VPN, or tunnel setups • Your token lives in the iOS Keychain; conversations are stored only on your phone A REAL CHAT EXPERIENCE • Fast streaming responses with markdown, syntax-highlighted code blocks with copy, and charts • Attach photos and files — vision models can see your images • Generated images appear inline; save or share them • Dictate messages with on-device transcription and have replies read aloud • Long generations survive backgrounding and pick up where they left off • Ask Phantasm from Siri and Shortcuts TOOLS ON YOUR TERMS • Per-chat toggles for web access and image generation • Optional device tools — location, calendar, Apple Health — are off by default and only shared with your own backend when you enable them • See the model's reasoning when a thinking model is selected PRIVATE BY DESIGN Phantasm operates no servers and collects no data. The app talks exclusively to the backend you configure — nothing else. What you say to your AI is between you and your hardware. Phantasm requires an OpenAI-compatible server that you provide (for example, Ollama running on your own machine). Feature availability depends on your backend's capabilities.
