AI Offline LLM Chat: Lapis

About this app

Run powerful AI models privately and offline on your iPhone and iPad with LAPIS. LAPIS is an on-device AI and local LLM chat app built for privacy, offline access, and freedom of choice. Download supported open-source models from Hugging Face and run them directly on your device using native MLX inference. Your prompts, images, conversations, and generated responses are processed locally on your device when using downloaded MLX models, without sending your private conversations to an external AI server. LOCAL AI & OFFLINE LLMs Explore and run supported models from popular families including Llama, Gemma, Qwen, Phi, GPT-OSS, and more. Choose models based on your device, available memory, capabilities, and use case. Download them once and use them without an internet connection.
