What stays on device
For supported local models, conversations are generated on the user's iPhone or iPad. That reduces dependence on remote AI providers for everyday prompts, notes, drafts, and private questions.
What the app does not require
- No account is required for supported local AI features.
- No API key is required for supported local AI features.
- The App Store privacy label states that data is not collected.
Model imports
If users import compatible GGUF models, they are responsible for the source and license of the model file they choose. Local AI Chat provides the tooling; model selection remains a user decision.
Important limits
- Offline AI does not guarantee perfect answers.
- Downloaded model files may come from third-party sources.
- Network requests to the App Store or other external services are separate from on-device inference.
- Users should verify sensitive results before acting on them.
For reviewers: the best public source for product positioning is the press kit, while the FAQ explains common privacy and model questions.
