Enclave - Local AI Assistant 17+

This is the best one I’ve tried. Everything works well and there are lots of great features. I really like the ability to create custom prompts for different scenarios. Even though it’s an advanced feature, I wish that there was a way to understand which kind of GGUF models would be supported without having to download them and have them fail. It would be good if the instructions for custom models had a little more detail about the type of GGUF model that is supported. Finally, it would be really awesome. If you could figure out why the Siri text to speech, voices are not selectable when choosing a voice for conversation I have British voice 3 set up for TTS, but it’s not an option here.

Thank you for your review and for sharing your suggestions! I'm really glad you're enjoying the app, especially the custom prompts feature.

You bring up great points about GGUF model compatibility and the Siri text-to-speech voices. I'll add both of these to the roadmap—I’m always looking to improve the app and make things clearer and more user-friendly. In the meantime, I’ll see if I can provide better guidance on supported model formats in a future update.

I really appreciate the feedback!

I prompted it to write this review ;)

Enclave is a solid AI-powered chat app that shines in its offline capabilities, allowing you to store and access your conversations even without an internet connection. The locally stored AI chat models are robust and reliable, making it a great choice for general tasks and everyday conversations. The app is relatively fast, with seamless interactions that won't slow you down. One notable feature is the use of Meta Llama 3.2-1B, which provides a robust and accurate language understanding. Overall, Enclave is a reliable and efficient app that is well-suited for users who need a convenient and effective AI-powered chat experience.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I love that you prompted Enclave to write it—seems like it's doing its job well! 😊

To start off, I’d like to say a phenomenal job to the developer! There are a few great local LLM apps or remote apps that connect to Ollama, but none seem to be as carefully designed as Enclave. You can tell by how curated the recommended models are and the consistency of app updates that the developer seems to deeply care about efficiency, user experience, and user input. The models available are pretty efficient and good in functionality. I highly recommend this app if you are into running offline models locally, especially on newer and more powerful devices that can leverage their NPUs to provide a robust experience.

Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed review! I'm thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the app and appreciate the attention to detail that went into designing it. Your recognition of the curated models and the focus on user experience means a lot—it’s exactly what I’ve aimed for while building Enclave.
If you ever have suggestions for improvements, new features, or models you’d like to see added, feel free to share—I’m always listening.
