iPhone Giveaway of the Day - privateSLM: Offline AI Chat

privateSLM — private AI that runs on your device. Free.

Chat with an AI that never sends a word to the cloud. privateSLM runs language models directly on your iPhone, iPad and Mac — no account, no server, no internet needed.

On devices with Apple Intelligence it answers on the first tap, with nothing to download. On any other device, pick a free model and you are chatting in a minute.

ASK YOUR DOCUMENTS — OFFLINE

Attach a PDF, a Word file or a photo of a page and ask about it:
• "Summarize this contract"
• "What is the notice period?"
• "Explain this letter in simple terms"
The file is read on your device — scanned pages too, with on-device text recognition — and is never uploaded. Long documents work as well: privateSLM finds the passages that answer your question, or reads the whole document part by part for a summary.

FREE, WITH NO CATCH

• Chat with Apple Intelligence or free general models (Llama, Qwen, Gemma, Phi)
• Documents: PDF, Word, text files and scans
• Voice in and voice out
• Chat history, Siri and Shortcuts, a Home Screen widget
• No ads. No account. No tracking.

EXPERT MODEL PACKS — PAY ONCE

Want a specialist? Add a pack with a one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.

100% PRIVATE

Everything runs on-device. No sign-up, no analytics, no ads. Your chats and documents are stored only on your device. It works in airplane mode.

BUILT TO ACTUALLY USE

• Matched to your device — privateSLM checks your device's memory, on-device, and shows the models that will run well.
• Resumable downloads that survive a dropped connection.
• Speak your question, hear the answer.
• Stop, copy or regenerate any reply.
• Translate the chat into your language, on-device (iOS 18 and later).
• Tune the system prompt and sampling.
• Siri and Shortcuts: Ask, Summarize, Rephrase, Translate.

PERFECT FOR

• Contracts, letters and reports you would rather not upload anywhere
• Flights and travel with no connection
• When another AI's credits have run out
• Anyone who wants answers that never leave the device

Runs on-device with llama.cpp and Apple Intelligence.

Note: Apple Intelligence requires a supported device and iOS 26 or later; on other devices the first answer needs a model download. The Medical, Legal and Finance models are AI assistants for general information only — not professional medical, legal or financial advice. Larger 7B expert models run best on recent devices with 8 GB or more of memory.
