AI, the iPhone Way Ensor is a native iPhone app for managing and talking to your AI. Instead of starting from a blank chat and pasting the same prompt again and again, give each AI a name, a role, and a purpose. Your prompts become AI contacts you can return to anytime. One AI, One Purpose Create dedicated AIs for writing, research, coding, translation, planning, or anything else. Each AI keeps its own personality, model, prompt, and conversations. Any Model, One Native Experience Connect directly to supported AI providers using your own API keys. Use different models in one familiar iPhone experience. One Chat, Many Minds Bring 2–5 AIs into the same conversation. Give each one a different role and let them respond together. Prompts, Ready When You Are Manage reusable prompts and personal instructions in one place. Set them once and use them across the AIs you choose. Local by Default Your chats, prompts, settings, and usage history are stored on your iPhone. API keys are kept securely in Apple Keychain. When you send a message, it goes directly to the AI provider you selected. Ensor does not operate a server that receives your conversations. Built for iPhone A focused, native interface designed around the way you already use your iPhone — simple, personal, and familiar. No Ensor account. No Ensor cloud. Your AI, your way. Supported providers and model capabilities may vary. API usage and charges are billed by the provider you connect to.
