LM Mini

Chat with LM Studio, Ollama,

About this app

<p>Chat with LM Studio, Ollama, and oMLX from your iPhone — or run on-device models offline. Private local AI on hardware you control. No cloud chat subscription required.</p>
<p>THREE WAYS TO USE IT</p>
<p>1. On-device — download a model and chat with no internet<br />
2. Connected — LM Studio, Ollama, Jan AI, or oMLX over Wi‑Fi or USB<br />
3. Remote — LM Mini Connect from anywhere, encrypted with your key</p>
<p>One app for phone-side models and your desktop local setup.</p>
<p>WHAT TO EXPECT</p>
<p>Phone models are not the same as huge hosted models in a data center. They are smaller, and that is expected. Performance will vary by hardware.</p>
<p>What you gain is control: offline use, private chats on your device or your home machine, and freedom to run the open models you choose.</p>
<p>BUILT FOR</p>
<p>- People already running LM Studio, Ollama, oMLX or Jan AI who want that stack in their pocket<br />
- People who want on-device chat when they are offline or away from Wi-Fi<br />
- People who care about keeping conversations off third-party chat servers<br />
- Researchers, builders, and privacy-minded users experimenting with local AI</p>

- In-app support and feature requests<br />
- Dark mode and a chat UI meant for daily use</p>
<p>PRIVACY</p>
<p>For local use, chats stay on your phone, or between your phone and your own computer. We don't need your conversations to make that core local path work. If you choose optional cloud APIs, those requests go to the provider you pick.</p>
<p>SETUP</p>
<p>On-device: a compatible phone with enough free storage and memory for the model you pick. Connected mode: LM Studio, Ollama, or oMLX on your computer, plus local network or USB access, or LM Mini Connect for remote use.</p>
<p>Install LM Mini and keep your local AI with you.</p>
<p>Download LM Mini today and start chatting with your local AI models privately and securely!</p>
