The app AnywAIr, recently featured in the Indie App Spotlight series by 9to5Mac, allows users to interact with AI models without needing an internet connection. It provides a variety of tools and games alongside customizable themes, showcasing the potential of Apple silicon for local AI capabilities.
Supporting both MLX and Llama models, AnywAIr includes notable offerings such as Qwen 2.5, Gemma 3, and Llama 3.2. While the models are designed to operate on devices with 8-12GB of memory, they prioritize user privacy by keeping interactions local. The app also features engaging games like "guess the word" and a translator, which can be useful when offline.
AnywAIr is available for free on the App Store, with options for enhanced content at a cost of $9.99 for lifetime access or $14.99 for additional support to the developer.
