Locally

What is Locally?

Locally is an AI assistant app built for running language models directly on your device instead of relying on a remote service for every request. It helps users chat with local models, download supported models, and use on-device AI for everyday tasks such as brainstorming, writing, and private note-taking. The app is designed for people who want a simpler way to use local AI on Apple devices without working in a terminal or setting up a server. Its user-facing workflow centers on choosing a model, managing it in the app, and sending prompts in a chat-style interface. Locally is available for Apple platforms, including Mac, and is published by Locallyai under the App Store listing name “Locally AI.”

Key features

• Chat with AI models directly on your device
• Download and manage supported local AI models
• Use private on-device AI without depending on a constant internet connection
• Send prompts through a simple chat-style interface
• Access local AI features on Apple devices including Mac

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

This app’s local-AI purpose normally involves storing downloaded models and conversation data on your device, which can use a noticeable amount of disk space. Network access may still be used for downloading models, updates, or related app content even when core chat features are designed around local processing. If you use it for sensitive work, review what information you enter and check the app’s settings for any syncing, sharing, or history options you do not want.

Recommendation: Keep Locally if you use on-device AI on your Mac or other Apple devices. Remove it if you no longer use local model chat or want to reclaim the storage used by downloaded models and app data.
