About Locally AI

Locally AI is a platform designed for Apple devices—iPhones, iPads, and Macs—that enables users to run AI models directly on their device without any cloud dependency. By keeping all processing local, it offers complete privacy, offline functionality, and eliminates the need for an internet connection or login. The platform is optimized for Apple Silicon, leveraging the capabilities of M-series chips for efficient performance. It supports a variety of open-source models including Llama, Gemma, Qwen, DeepSeek, SmolLM, Granite, Cogito, and LFM, all running completely offline. In addition to text-based language models, Locally AI also offers local voice mode for real-time, on-device voice conversations and vision models for image analysis. The app is built natively for Apple platforms, integrating with the latest OS features like iOS 26 Liquid Glass and Apple Foundation model support. As of the latest announcement, Locally AI is joining LM Studio, which may influence future development and updates. The platform is currently in public beta, with new models like Qwen 3 4B and Qwen 3 4B Thinking regularly added.
