Falcon File Manager is a private home for your videos, music, photos, and files. Bring in your media or connect your cloud storage, organise it your way, and play almost anything in one app. ORGANISE EVERYTHING Sort your library into folders with different icons, and choose from over 50 layout options. Mark last opened shows the last item you opened in each folder, so you can jump straight back in. SEARCH, FAVOURITES AND TAGS Search a folder or your whole library, filter by file type, mark favourites, and organise files with your own coloured tags. VIDEO PLAYER A powerful player for MP4, MOV, M4V, MKV, AVI, FLV, WMV, WebM, and TS. It plays HDR video, loads embedded and SRT subtitles, supports picture in picture, plays at 0.25x to 5x, and remembers where you left off. Bookmark places to jump back to. MUSIC PLAYER Play music and audiobooks in MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, WAV, and OGG. Build playlists, see album artwork, edit music tags, set a sleep timer, and keep playing in the background. Smart Resume picks long tracks back up where you stopped, ideal for audiobooks. Apple Music is also supported. PHOTOS AND LIVE PHOTOS Supports JPG, PNG, HEIC, AVIF, DNG RAW, animated GIF, and WebP, including HDR photos. Live Photos play with sound, and you can browse your Apple Photos library in the app. DOCUMENTS AND OTHER FILES Open PDFs and ePub books, read and edit text and code files including TXT, Markdown, JSON, XML, YAML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and preview Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Pages documents. Scan documents and create text files on the spot. Falcon stores any file type, even ones it cannot open. LINKED FOLDERS AND CLOUD Link folders from the Files app, iCloud Drive, or a USB drive and work with them in place, with no need to import. Connect Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, and pCloud to browse, play and edit your files where they are, or open the shared folders on your computer or NAS. Everything stays where it is and in sync. BIGGER SCREENS Made for iPad and iPhone Duo. Side by Side opens a photo, video, or document in one half of the screen while your folders stay open in the other. PRIVATE Your files stay on your device, with no account, no tracking, and nothing synced to our servers. Cloud accounts sign in on the service's own page, and your files travel directly between your device and that service. If you use iCloud Backup, your data is included in your own personal device backup, by your choice. Lock private folders with a PIN, Face ID, or Touch ID. THEMES Choose from over 35 themes, each with light and dark variants, or design your own in Theme Studio. Give any folder its own header photo, and switch the app icon to match. CAST TO YOUR TV Send videos to the big screen with AirPlay, Screen Mirroring, Google Cast, and DLNA, with surround sound through your TV or home theatre. Music can play to AirPlay too. FILE TRANSFER Wi-Fi Transfer: move files between your device and your computer through a web browser, with no cable or extra software.

APPLE WATCH Put music, audiobooks, photos, videos, and PDFs on your Apple Watch, or use it as a remote for the music on your iPhone.
LLM Studio Go

LLM Studio Go brings local AI to iPhone and iPad. Choose a model, download it, and run it on your device without creating an account. NEW: VIDEO (BETA) • Video studio: describe an idea and get a short vertical video. A chat model writes the script, a speech model narrates it, music plays underneath, and image and video models create the scenes and the cover. • Video from text: FastWan models turn a description into a short clip. Each model shows the memory it needs; video needs a device with at least 6 GB of memory. • Video generation is in beta: it is slow, uses a lot of battery and heats the device. AUDIO AND VOICE • Voice conversation: speak to a chat model and hear its answer, with live captions. Speech recognition, replies and speech run on your device. • Music and sound effects: describe a mood, instruments or a scene and get a track of up to 2 minutes. • Songs with vocals: write your own lyrics or let a local model write them, then pick a style and a singer. • Natural speech: turn text into speech in more than 30 languages with several voices. • A built-in player with waveform, speed, repeat and lock-screen controls. Save tracks as WAV or share them. LOCAL AI • Chat with supported language and vision models. Attach PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text files or images to a conversation. • Generate images with compatible diffusion models. • Browse GGUF and MLX models, import your own files, and manage downloads. • Keep conversations on your device and use models offline after downloading them. • Optionally enable DuckDuckGo web search and reading of linked pages for answers with sources. • Measure model performance and, if you choose, enable an OpenAI-compatible API for devices on your trusted local network. Model availability and speed depend on your device, its free storage, and the model you choose. Audio models are large downloads; songs need an iPhone or iPad with at least 12 GB of memory and are created while the app is open. Internet access is needed to browse and download models. Web search and link reading are off by default; when enabled, search queries go to DuckDuckGo and page requests go to the websites visited. The model catalog, the model picker and the audio generation screen may show ads. An optional one-time “Remove Ads Forever” purchase removes those ads and can be restored with the same Apple Account. All local AI features are available without the purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Falcon File Manager at none against LLM Studio Go's shown. Falcon File Manager also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
