Unofficial OpenCode Client vs Chat for Ollama

OpenCode Mobile is an unofficial, independent native client for the opencode server you run on your own computer. It is not made, published or endorsed by the opencode project. Start a session, follow it live, answer permission prompts and questions, and review changes while your AI coding agent keeps working at home. Nothing runs in our cloud. The app talks only to your own server. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Follow sessions live in Session Chat, with rendered Markdown and a tool-result inspector • Approve or deny permission requests and answer the agent's questions • Review diffs from the latest turn • Start work in worktrees and see them grouped under their project • Prompt with context: mention several skills, run shell commands with !cmd, attach files • Fork a session, or fork from a specific message • Open a live Terminal on your server and read project files • Dictate prompts by voice, recognised on your device • Use tablet split view with keyboard shortcuts • See a retry countdown and next steps when you hit a rate or usage limit • Pick your chat timeline (Standard, Chips, Step Rail or Activity Card), compact or classic Home, and a theme • Lock the app with optional App Lock CONNECT YOUR WAY • Remote QR: run opencode pair --remote on your computer and scan the code (OpenCode 2.0.25 or later) • Same Wi-Fi QR: let the server listen on your network, run opencode pair and scan • Host, username and password for OpenCode 1 and OpenCode 2 servers • Pairing code when the camera is not available Works over your LAN, a VPN, HTTPS, or a tunnel such as Tailscale. Step-by-step guide: https://opencode-mobile.github.io/opencode-mobile-docs/connecting/ PRIVATE AND OPEN • Your server password stays in iOS Keychain • The app does not host models or run your code • Release builds send crash reports through Firebase, and usage analytics you can switch off in Settings • The source code is public under GPL-3.0: https://github.com/opencode-mobile/opencode-mobile REQUIREMENTS A reachable opencode server and its password.

Chat for Ollama is a client for the Ollama or LM Studio server you already run yourself: on a Mac under the desk, in a homelab, or across your own private network. Your questions go to your machine and nowhere else. The app needs a running server: it does not run models on the phone and does not download any. EVERYTHING YOUR SERVER CAN DO IS FREE - Streaming answers from every model on your server - Switch models mid-chat, the conversation stays - Thinking output from reasoning models, collapsed above the answer - Image input for models with vision - System prompt, temperature, Top-P and context length per chat - Unlimited history, stored on the device No server feature is behind a purchase. What you pay for is convenience the app adds, not something Ollama already gives you. CONNECTING, WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK Most first attempts fail for one reason: Ollama listens on 127.0.0.1 by default, so the phone cannot reach it — and no error message says so. - Scan your local network for servers on port 11434 - Paste a copied address straight from the clipboard - When a connection fails you get a screen, not an error code: what was tried, what came back, what it means, and the exact command to fix it with a copy button - Reachability dot per server THE CHAT ITSELF - Markdown, tables and code blocks with a copy button per block - Speed readout after each answer: tokens per second and duration - Context meter that warns before the server silently truncates the history - Copy, regenerate, edit your own message, delete - Stop button that really cancels the generation and keeps the partial text - Loading indicator with a counter when a cold model has to be read from disk - Chat list with automatic titles, search and pinning - Split-view layout on iPad ALSO WORKS WITH OPENAI-COMPATIBLE SERVERS Anything serving /v1/chat/completions on a machine you run — LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM, or Ollama's own compatibility endpoint. Same chat, same streaming, same cancelling. ONE-TIME UNLOCK, $5.99 No subscription and no second tier. The unlock adds: - Several servers with quick switching - Named presets for system prompt and parameters - Attachments: text, Markdown, code and PDF files are extracted as text - Export a chat as Markdown PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting. Chats and server addresses stay on the device, API keys go into the Keychain. A network capture shows nothing but the server you entered yourself. WHAT YOU NEED An Ollama server (or an OpenAI-compatible one) that your iPhone can reach — same network, or through a mesh VPN you already use. There is a demo mode if you want to look around first. Chat for Ollama is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Ollama project.
