Run capable open models on your iPhone and Mac. Your prompts, documents, and chats never leave your hardware. No accounts, no telemetry, no recurring fees.
Engineered from scratch in Rust and Swift to squeeze maximum speed and efficiency from Apple Silicon without relying on remote servers.
Runs offline. State-of-the-art models like Qwen, Llama, and Gemma execute directly inside your phone's unified memory.
Use your Mac's bigger models. Seamlessly pair your iPhone and Mac over your encrypted local network.
You see every byte. A built-in Network Proof ledger displays every network request the app makes.
See every connection. Usually there are none. We prove privacy through code and live telemetry, not marketing claims.

No. Once you download your chosen open-weights model, PocketAI operates 100% offline. You can converse, analyze photos, and transcribe speech while in airplane mode or away from any cellular network.
PocketAI includes a curated, pre-verified catalog of optimized models (from Hugging Face repositories in GGUF and MLX formats) that fit your specific Apple hardware. You can also import any compatible open-weight model directly from Hugging Face.
Pairing connects your iPhone to your Mac over your local Wi-Fi network using mutual TLS encryption. Your prompt is routed directly to your Mac and the output is streamed back. The communication never touches a PocketAI server or external relay.
Your license key is cryptographically signed with Ed25519. When entered in the app or launched via the pocketai://activate?key=... link, the app verifies the signature using an embedded public key entirely offline.
Yes. A single PocketAI Pro licence covers your Mac plus the phones paired to it, 5 devices in total. The Mac checks the limit; iPhones never contact a licence server.
Really. We don't have servers to maintain for your chats, so we don't charge you a monthly subscription. The iPhone app is free, and PocketAI Pro is a one-time purchase.
