AI that lives on your phone,
not in the cloud.
PocketPal AI is an open-source mobile app that runs language models entirely on your device. No data leaves your phone. No internet required. No compromises on privacy.
What we believe
The principles that shape every decision we make.
Privacy by Design
Every conversation, every prompt, every piece of data stays on your device. No telemetry, no accounts, no cloud. Your AI assistant is truly yours.
Open Source
MIT-licensed and fully open source. Inspect the code, contribute features, or fork the project. Transparency isn't optional — it's foundational.
Offline-First
No internet required for core functionality. Run AI in airplane mode, in remote areas, or simply when you prefer to disconnect.
Community-Driven
Built by and for the community. Feature requests, bug reports, and pull requests from contributors around the world shape every release.
What PocketPal can do
A full-featured AI assistant that runs entirely on your hardware.
Run Any GGUF Model
Browse and download thousands of open-source models directly from Hugging Face. Gemma, Qwen, Phi, Danube — if it's in GGUF format, it runs on PocketPal.
Built-in Benchmarking
Measure token generation and prompt processing speeds on your device. Compare performance across models and share results to the community leaderboard.
Personalized Pals
Create AI assistants with distinct personalities and system prompts. An assistant for writing, a coding helper, a creative partner — all running locally.
Fine-tuned Controls
Adjust temperature, system prompts, chat templates, GPU layers, and threading. Full control over how models run on your hardware.
Cross-platform
Native on iOS and Android, with support for phones and tablets. The same private AI experience on any device you carry.
Active Development
Regular releases with new features, model support, and performance improvements. 69+ releases and counting.
How it works
Choose a model
Browse Hugging Face directly in the app. Pick from thousands of GGUF-format models — quantized for efficient on-device inference.
Download once
The model downloads to your device. After that, everything runs locally. No internet needed, ever.
Chat privately
Start a conversation. The model runs on your phone's CPU and GPU. Nothing leaves your device.
AI Phone Leaderboard
How fast is your phone at running AI? The community benchmarks tell you.
PocketPal includes a built-in benchmarking tool that measures how fast your device processes prompts and generates tokens. Users can optionally share their results to the community leaderboard.
Devices are ranked using the Glicko-2 rating system. Each model creates pairwise matchups between devices — faster devices win. Rankings are recomputed every 6 hours from thousands of community-submitted benchmarks.
The leaderboard helps you pick the right phone for on-device AI, track performance across app versions, and compare devices head-to-head.
