onLM — Offline AI Assistant

About this app

Chat with powerful language models, transcribe voice notes, and generate images — all running directly on your iPhone or iPad. No cloud. No servers. No accounts. Your data never leaves your device. onLM is a native iOS app that brings state-of-the-art AI to a fully offline workspace. Every message, recording, and image is processed locally using your device's hardware, giving you a genuinely private AI assistant that works without an internet connection and without a subscription. PRIVATE AI CHAT Chat with open-source LLMs that run entirely on your device. Conversations are stored only on your iPhone or iPad — no servers, no sign-up, no telemetry. Pick a model that fits your task and switch between them anytime. VOICE NOTES, TRANSCRIPTION & SUMMARIES Record audio, transcribe it to text, and summarize long recordings into key points — all processed on-device. Useful for meeting notes, interviews, lectures, or spoken ideas. Recordings are auto-titled based on content for easy browsing. ON-DEVICE IMAGE GENERATION On supported devices, generate images from text prompts without sending anything to a remote server. Write your prompt in any supported language and onLM translates it locally before generation. Your images stay in a private gallery on your device.

- 12 GB iPhone stability — capped MLX buffer pool at 20 MB; added per-model KV-cache quantization and output-token caps (Qwen 3.5 9B, Gemma 3/4, Llama 3.1, Mistral) to stop jetsam kills by turn 3. - Image generation — fixed OOM on 12 GB iPhones (proper hw.memsize gating, quantized SDXL path) and fixed a crash on long or non-Latin prompts (CLIP token sequences now clamped to 77). - Onboarding — Skip button on the final page once any chat-capable model is ready; downloads keep running in the background. - Download banner — now shown across all tabs, not just Chat.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
