Cloudpaca
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cloudpaca is a clean, private iOS client for Ollama Cloud. Bring your own API key from ollama.com, choose a model, and start chatting. Your key never leaves your iPhone — it is stored in the system Keychain and sent only to ollama.com. No accounts. No ads. No backend servers operated by us. Nothing is shared until you agree to it. IMPORTANT — CLOUDPACA IS A CLIENT, NOT AN AI SERVICE Cloudpaca does not provide or run any AI models. It is an intermediary between your iPhone and Ollama Cloud, a service operated by Ollama, an independent third party we have no control over. • You must bring your own API key from ollama.com. Without it the app cannot do anything. We do not sell keys, credits, or model capacity. • Model availability, prices, limits and terms are set by Ollama and can change at any time. If Ollama raises prices, restricts your country, retires a model or shuts down, Cloudpaca may stop being useful to you. That is outside our control and is not a defect of this app. • The one-time Pro purchase unlocks features inside Cloudpaca. It is not a subscription to Ollama and includes no AI usage. Please buy Pro only if this arrangement suits you. Full terms: apps.udt.cz/Cloudpaca/#terms WHAT MAKES CLOUDPACA DIFFERENT • Several models, one conversation. Ask once and let two or three models answer side by side. Tabs switch between their branches, each keeps its own history, and /compare has a model of your choice grade the answers. • Diagrams and charts, not just text. A reply can come back as a mermaid diagram, a data chart or an SVG drawing, rendered as a full-screen artifact you can share or export. • Native iOS assistant tools. Web search, stock quotes, routes, weather, calendar, reminders, contacts, prefilled messages and email, your Siri Shortcuts — always confirmed by you first. • Full model catalog. Browse every Ollama Cloud model, see capabilities (vision, tools, thinking), mark favourites and filter by what you need. • Rich chat. Streaming responses, Markdown with code highlighting, tables and lists, image and document attachments. • Your library, your data. Folders, search, custom system prompts and export to Markdown or PDF. A complete backup of everything is free for everyone, not a paid feature. • Background completion. A response you started keeps running after you leave the app, within iOS limits. • Four languages: English, Czech, German and Japanese. PRICING The free tier covers core chat with your own key, your 10 most recent conversations, and 30 assistant prompts. Nothing is ever deleted — older conversations are locked, not removed, and unlock again if you buy Pro. Cloudpaca Pro is a one-time purchase — unlimited conversation history, search, folders, custom system prompts, export, Siri Shortcuts, and the full assistant mode. No subscription. No renewal. DESIGNED IN BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC Cloudpaca is built by UDT s.r.o., a small independent software company. Email support@udt.cz — a real person answers, usually within 24 hours. PRIVACY DETAILS • You are asked before anything is shared — setup names every recipient and nothing is sent until you agree • No backend servers operated by us; direct calls from your iPhone to ollama.com • API key in the iOS Keychain, conversations in a local database on the device • Zero advertising SDKs • Anonymous product analytics via Aptabase, only with your consent — never chat content, prompts or API keys Read our complete privacy policy at apps.udt.cz/Cloudpaca/#privacy

Local LLM runs language models on your iPhone. No account is required. Chat, ask about photos, work with documents and use live voice. With Canvas, build websites, interactive pages and games from a conversation, then preview and edit them in the app. Features depend on the selected model. Download models from the catalog, or use Apple’s on-device model on supported devices when available. Core AI models require iOS 27 or later. Other supported models remain available on older systems. Inference and conversation history stay on your device. Model downloads, the catalog and model artwork use the network. Optional Web Search sends a query derived from your message to Tavily and may read result websites. Weather requests use Apple geocoding and WeatherKit for the requested city, without requesting device location. Voice input prefers on-device recognition. If it is unavailable or fails, Apple’s online speech service may process audio when network speech recognition is enabled. You can disable this in Privacy settings. Requires iOS 17 or later. Model availability depends on your device, OS, memory and storage. Downloads require internet; supported offline chat works after setup. Models can make mistakes. Do not rely on replies for medical, legal or financial decisions.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Local LLM at none against Cloudpaca's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
