What is Enclave?
Enclave AI is a private, local AI assistant that runs large language models directly on your iPhone, Mac, and iOS devices, keeping all text, voice, and document processing completely offline. Unlike cloud-based AI apps, Enclave processes everything locally using your device's hardware, ensuring your conversations never leave your device and no internet connection is needed. The app requires no account registration, no tracking, and no telemetry, making it anonymous by design for users who prioritize privacy.
Key features include offline voice chat using Apple's built-in speech technology, chat with documents (PDFs, text files, images, source code), customizable AI assistants with custom instructions for writing, coding, brainstorming, translation, and more, Apple Shortcuts and Siri integration for hands-free workflows, iMessage integration for AI assistance within messaging, syntax-highlighted code blocks with full Markdown rendering, reasoning display for thinking models like DeepSeek R1, and fine-tuning controls for temperature, context window, and seed. The app supports hundreds of open-source models including Meta Llama, DeepSeek, Google Gemma, Qwen by Alibaba, Microsoft Phi, Mistral, and SmolLM.
Enclave AI is built for privacy-conscious users, independent developers, AI enthusiasts who want control over their AI experience, anyone who needs AI assistance without internet connectivity, people concerned about data collection from cloud AI services, and Apple users who want AI integrated into their daily workflows through Siri and Shortcuts. The app is built by an independent developer (Piotr Gorzelany), not a corporation, with no business model around user data.
The tool is available as an iOS app on the App Store with over 100,000 downloads and a 4.7/5 rating, and also has a web application version. It optimizes model performance for iPhone with platform-tuned model libraries and supports VoiceOver for accessibility.

Frequently asked questions about Enclave
How exactly do cloud credits work in Pro?
Your $9.99/month subscription gives you $9.99 in cloud credits — every cent of your subscription goes toward AI usage with no markup. Credits reset at the start of each billing period and unused credits don't carry over to the next month. The entire amount goes toward your usage on any supported cloud model including GPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek.
How do I cancel my Pro subscription?
Your subscription is managed by Apple. You can cancel anytime through the App Store or your device's subscription settings. You'll keep Pro access until the end of the current billing period after canceling.
Is there a free trial for Pro?
The app itself is free — there's no time limit on using local AI. The Pro subscription is only needed when you want to use cloud models. Try the free tier first and upgrade when you're ready for cloud access.
What happens when my cloud credits run out?
Local AI keeps working as normal — it's always free and unlimited. Cloud models become unavailable until your credits reset at the start of your next billing period.
Can I use cloud models without subscribing to Pro?
Not currently through Enclave's built-in system. Cloud access requires a Pro subscription. Local models — including many capable open-source ones like Llama, Mistral, and Gemma — are always free and need no internet connection.
Do I need an account to use Enclave AI?
No account is required to use local AI. Enclave is built with no sign-up required for anything. Your conversations stay on your device, and there is no tracking or telemetry on your conversations. The app is anonymous by design.
What AI models can I run locally?
You can try hundreds of open-source models including Meta Llama, DeepSeek, Google Gemma, Qwen by Alibaba, Microsoft Phi, Mistral, SmolLM, and more. Download the models you want and switch between them freely. The app includes recommended model libraries optimized for iPhone.
Is my data private when using cloud models?
When you use cloud models, your messages are forwarded but never saved on Enclave's servers. Cloud chats are never stored. However, local AI keeps everything completely on your device with no internet needed, providing the highest level of privacy.
What devices does Enclave AI work on?
Enclave AI runs on Mac and iPhone devices. The app is optimized for iPhone with platform-tuned model libraries and works on relatively modern smartphones and computers. It requires enough storage space for AI models (typically 2-5GB per model).
Can I customize my AI assistant's behavior?
Yes, you can create personalized AI assistants with custom instructions for any task including writing, coding, brainstorming, grammar, planning, translation, and more. Each assistant keeps its own conversation history, and you can save and switch between multiple assistants while retaining context.
