Start with one model and one conversation. These guides explain how to connect it, where it runs and what to check if something goes wrong.
Start here
- Local AI on iPhone and iPad — compare on-device models and your own server before choosing a setup.
- Getting started — choose your first model, save a preset and begin a chat.
- Compatibility — understand supported runtimes, images, tools and device limits.
- Privacy and data flow — see which requests stay on-device and which go to a service.
Connect your server
- LM Studio on iPhone and iPad — enable LAN access and connect to your computer.
- Ollama on iPhone and iPad — use Ollama’s OpenAI-compatible API from Vanta.
- vLLM on iPhone and iPad — connect to a served model with the correct base URL and key.
Choose another place to run
- On-device models — download GGUF or MLX, import GGUF, or use available Apple Intelligence.
- Cloud providers — bring an API key and connect an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Add context and tools
- Files and PDFs — ask about documents and choose a model for images.
- MCP tools — connect remote tool servers and understand what they can access.
Get unstuck
- Troubleshooting — identify common connection, model and attachment problems.
- Support — send the developer the details needed to reproduce an issue.
