What it is
For solo Ollama users who want a chat interface that feels native to Apple hardware, Enchanted delivers. It connects to your home or lab Ollama server over LAN or VPN, so your models run remotely while the UI stays on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Voice input works well on iOS, and iCloud syncs conversations across devices. The tradeoff: you need a reachable server, so this isn't a fully offline client—it's a polished frontend for your existing setup. Best suited for 8B parameter models like Llama 3.1 8B Q4_K_M, given the 4 GB VRAM floor. Free, open-source, and Apple-only.
