CommuniLLM runs powerful open AI models directly on your iPhone and iPad — no account, no subscription, and no cloud. Download a model once, then chat with a private assistant that works completely offline. Your prompts and the AI's replies never leave your device unless you choose to report one. Browse a curated library of open models — from tiny, instant ones that run on any device to desktop-class 7B models for the latest iPhones and iPads — and see at a glance how much space and memory each needs. Tap Download, and CommuniLLM pulls the model from Hugging Face's public library and runs it on-device with Apple's MLX framework, accelerated by the GPU. Once a model is installed, everything happens locally: ask questions, draft and rewrite text, brainstorm, summarize, get coding help, or just have a conversation — on a plane, in a tunnel, or anywhere with no signal. There are no per-message fees, because there's no server doing the work. Tune the temperature, response length, and system prompt to shape how the assistant behaves, and keep as many separate conversations as you like — all stored privately on your device. Then take your models to the Arena. Pick any installed model, choose Easy, Medium or Hard, and play it at Chess, Checkers, Mancala, Dominoes, Backgammon, Blackjack, Poker or Last Card. The app referees every game and the model chooses its moves from the legal ones — on harder levels it picks from a shorter, stronger shortlist. The model chats as it plays, and your Scoreboard keeps track of which models you can beat and which ones keep beating you. CommuniLLM is free for everyone, supported by ads: after a free first day, watching one short ad unlocks the app for 12 hours at a time. You can request features, suggest improvements, or report a response right from inside the app — we build with the community. Responses are AI-generated by open models and may be inaccurate, so please don't rely on them for medical, legal, or financial decisions. CommuniDev builds small, focused iOS apps with our community, for you. Our apps respect your time, your privacy, and your wallet. Your content stays on your device, and ads stay minimal. You can request features and suggest improvements from inside the app; it stays free for everyone. Let's CommuniDev together!

Turn your iPhone into a dumb phone: an app blocker for your dopamine detox, with a bouncer at the door. Denied locks the apps that eat your day — short-video feeds, social apps, games, any app you choose. Want in? Talk your way in. Say your excuse out loud and an AI gatekeeper decides: a few minutes granted, or a flat-out DENIED with a roast you'll want to screenshot. PICK YOUR GATEKEEPER • Bouncer — strict but fair. Few words. Not on the list? Not getting in. • Mom — guilt-trips you with love. "Again, honey?" • Drill Sergeant — no excuses, recruit. • Therapist — asks what's really behind the urge. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps to lock. Apple's Screen Time locks them at the system level. 2. Try to open one. The gatekeeper stops you at the door. 3. Make your case out loud. Specific, honest reasons get 5–30 minutes. "Just checking" gets denied. 4. The door closes again when your time is up — even if you close Denied. YOU SET THE RULES • Attempts per day (default 3) and a daily minute budget the AI can never exceed • Unlock lengths of 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes • Lock schedules for work hours or bedtime • Strict mode: no "never mind" button, you have to talk PRIVACY Your voice is transcribed on your phone. Only the text of your excuse is sent to the gatekeeper, and nothing is stored with your identity. Which apps you lock never leaves your device. Your first 3 talks with the gatekeeper are free. After that, Denied Pro is a yearly or monthly subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions. Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: https://denied.webkodingtheme.com/privacy
