PocketPal AI
What it's for An app that runs AI models directly on your phone, fully offline.
Why it matters
Your prompts never leave the phone: no account, no cloud, no telemetry, and it works in airplane mode. Open source (MIT), it downloads GGUF models (Gemma, Qwen, Phi, Llama) from Hugging Face and runs them on your device’s CPU, GPU or NPU. The mobile counterpart to Ollama and LM Studio.
For whom & when
Anyone who reaches for ChatGPT on their phone for personal questions and doesn’t want to hand them to a US server.
Install & use

- Load it and chat: everything runs offline, on the device.
