Anvil
Anvil is a private AI assistant for iPhone that runs entirely on the device. It uses Gemma 4 E2B (2B parameters) via Google LiteRT on the GPU for chat, and DreamShaper XL Lightning on the Neural Engine for image generation — everything works offline, even in airplane mode, with no account, no telemetry and no data leaving the phone. It requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer and is currently in public TestFlight beta where testers get Pro features free. Worth weighing: on-device models are smaller than cloud flagships, so expect capable-but-modest answers — privacy is the whole point.
