Russet: OpenRouter & Local AI

About this app

<p>Most AI apps send everything you type to someone else's server... Not Russet.</p>
<p>Russet runs language models directly on your iPhone and iPad through Apple Intelligence and MLX. Your chats stay on your device and work in airplane mode. When you want something bigger, connect your own OpenAI or OpenRouter key and switch models easily.</p>
<p>CHAT, YOUR WAY<br />
• Run open models from Google, Meta, Mistral, Microsoft, DeepSeek, Alibaba and more, right on device<br />
• Pick a persona: Coding Partner, Study Buddy, Writing Coach, Devil's Advocate, plain Russet, or create your own<br />
• Add images and PDFs to a conversation<br />
• Go incognito when you don't want a chat saved at all</p>
<p>FLOW<br />
Paste text and get something useful back. Summarize it, translate it, rewrite it, label it, or have Russet argue both sides.</p>
<p>TOOLS<br />
Ask what's on your calendar tomorrow, when your next meeting is, whose birthday is coming up, or how you slept last night. Russet reads your calendar, contacts and Health data only after you allow it, and only on your device.</p>
<p>PROJECTS<br />
Group related chats and files in one place so the context you need is already there.</p>
<p>MORE<br />
• Daily, tomorrow and weekly briefings<br />
• Questia, a text adventure you write together with Russet<br />
• Web search, page reading and live date/time for OpenRouter chats<br />
• Widgets and Siri Shortcuts to jump straight into a chat<br />
• Move chats between devices with encrypted transfer files<br />
• Use a Mac running Russet as the engine and chat from your phone with Remote Control</p>
<p>Your chats, files and downloaded models are kept out of iCloud backups. You don't need an account to start. A free one raises your limits.</p>
