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.

About

Nodus Presenter

Present with room to think. Nodus Presenter turns your iPhone or iPad into a native remote for PDF Presenter in Nodus Research on Mac, Windows or Linux. Scan the App iPhone–iPad QR code in Nodus to pair. See the current slide, keep your presenter notes close, and move through your presentation with buttons, taps or the slide grid. • Give your notes the space they need: adjust the slide/notes split and text size. • Read ahead privately without changing what your audience sees. Show or hide the next-slide preview. • Guide attention with a pointer, Spotlight, drawing and a magnifier. Adjust active tools beside the slide controls. • Play or pause an embedded video and adjust its volume. These controls appear only on slides with video; playback takes place on the computer. On Mac, volume controls the system output; on Windows and Linux, it controls the presentation video. • Track your timing: tap the timer to start or pause, or hold to reset. • Blank the audience screen and restore it with a tap. • Choose from nine accent colors and System, Light or Dark appearance. Enjoy native Liquid Glass on iOS and iPadOS 26. • Try the built-in local demo before pairing a computer. The app follows your device’s language: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Other languages fall back to English. Requires iOS or iPadOS 18 or later and a version of Nodus Research with native Presenter pairing. On Mac, keep Wi-Fi enabled on both devices; the existing direct connection can work without the room’s router, depending on the devices and environment. Windows and Linux require both devices to be reachable on the same local network. 100% free, with no purchases, subscriptions, app account, ads or analytics. Presentation data travels between your paired devices. The demo simulates remote controls and does not change the computer’s volume.
