LM Mini

Private local AI on your phone. Choose on-device models, or chat with LM Studio, Ollama, oMLX, and Hugging Face models from your own setup.

LM Mini is for people who want AI on hardware they control. Chat with models on your phone, or reach LM Studio, Ollama, or oMLX at home. The core experience is local. No cloud chat subscription required to get started.

THREE WAYS TO USE IT

1. On-device. Download a model to your phone and chat with no internet.

2. Connected. Use LM Studio, Ollama, or oMLX on your computer over Wi-Fi or USB.

3. Remote (Pro). Same as connected, but you are not on home Wi-Fi. LM Mini Connect reaches your computer from anywhere. Encrypted with a key you control.

One app for phone-side models and your desktop local setup.

WHAT TO EXPECT

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.

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.

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.
