Run AI Models Locally on iPhone with Locally AI

Privacy-first AI is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Locally AI lets you run powerful AI models like Qwen 3.5 directly on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, without cloud dependency, login requirements, or data tracking. With models optimized for Apple Silicon and a focus on performance, this app redefines what’s possible with on-device AI.

Why Run AI Locally?

Cloud-based AI apps often sacrifice privacy for convenience. Locally AI flips this script by keeping all processing offline. Whether you’re analyzing documents, generating text, or using vision-enabled features, your data stays on your device. This approach not only protects privacy but also ensures reliability in low- or no-internet scenarios.

Key Features of Locally AI

• Model Variety: Choose from Qwen 3.5 models in four sizes (0.8B, 2B, 4B, 9B) to match your device’s capabilities.
• Vision & Reasoning Toggle: Switch between visual analysis and logical reasoning modes seamlessly.
• Apple Silicon Optimization: Native support for M1/M2 chips ensures fast, efficient performance.
• No Login Required: Jump into AI tasks instantly without account creation.

Performance & Device Compatibility

Locally AI adapts to your hardware. While newer iPhones and iPads handle larger models (like the 9B variant), older devices can still leverage smaller models like 0.8B for quick, responsive interactions. Battery usage remains efficient, with thermal throttling minimized through smart resource management.

Real-World Use Cases

From developers testing code locally to creatives editing media offline, Locally AI empowers users who demand control. For example, a designer could use the vision mode to analyze image content directly on an iPad during a flight—no Wi-Fi needed.
