LocalRAG!
On-device iOS/Android app to chat with PDFs, docs, audio and video; optional Claude cloud AI, with page-level citations.
What it does
LocalRAG! is a mobile app (iPhone, iPad, Android) for asking questions across your own documents. It handles 23 formats — PDFs, Office files, EPUBs, images, plus audio and video it transcribes on-device. A built-in local LLM (Qwen3 4B) answers offline with no data leaving the device, or you can switch to Claude models for higher accuracy, and answers carry page-level source citations.
