Maybe this isn't for everyone, just the people who place a high value on privacy.

If your ultimate goal is privacy, then you should only be looking at open source chat UI front ends:

https://github.com/mckaywrigley/chatbot-ui

https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui

https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI

And then connecting them to off-line models servers:

- Ollama

- llama.cpp

And you should avoid closed source frontends:

- Recurse

- LM Studio

And closed source models

- ChatGPT

- Gemini

Are you implying Claude is an open source model?

[djfdat]

I don't think the list was meant to be exhaustive.

But how can I guarantee this app is private?

I'm assuming I cannot block internet access to the app because it needs to verify App Store entitlement.

I mean, ok, then how do you distinguish yourself from LM Studio (Free)
