About Noema: Local AI & Offline LLM
Noema is a private AI assistant that runs local language models on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision—even offline. Chat with PDFs, EPUBs, and your own documents, download models that fit your device, or connect only the providers you choose. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • Run supported models directly on your device. • Local conversations and files stay on your device. • No Noema account is required, and Noema does not collect your data. CHAT WITH YOUR FILES • Import PDFs, EPUBs, and textbooks. • Ask questions and get answers grounded in indexed passages. • Create summaries, notes, and flashcards from your own material. CHOOSE THE RIGHT MODEL • Discover and download supported local models. • See memory-fit and context guidance before downloading. • Use GGUF, MLX, ExecuTorch, Core ML, and supported Apple Foundation Models. NEW IN 3.8 • Use Noema as a private Local API for compatible apps on your network. • Reuse compatible models already on your device and control downloads with Pause, Resume, and Stop. • Share complete private-AI setups with Noema Blueprint. • Edit a message and branch from that point without losing the original conversation. • A new icon and refreshed visual identity. MORE BUILT IN • On-device Python tools for calculations, data work, and charts. • Optional web search and remote providers when you explicitly enable them. • Vision-capable models for image understanding. • Noema Relay lets one Apple device use a model hosted by another. Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision in 11 languages. Model availability and performance depend on your device and the models you choose.

What’s new
Version 4.2 · Updated October 20, 2026
Noema 4.2 brings a cleaner, faster app, projects across your devices, and new ways to research, compare answers and remember what matters. NEW • Projects across devices: create a project on iPhone, iPad or Mac and attach folders from your Mac. Regular chats can continue on iPhone even when your Mac is offline. • Remote Control: send prompts to your Mac’s coding chats from iPhone or iPad. Your Mac runs the work and streams replies back. Risky actions still require approval on the Mac. • Deep Research: Noema plans the research, searches the web and writes a report with citations. Turn it into flashcards or a podcast. • Side Question, Compare Models and Regenerate With: ask a follow-up on the side, compare two models on the same prompt, or try another model’s answer. • Search all your chats, including the messages inside them. • Remember This: save a fact from any reply for future chats. • Record a Meeting: transcribe a conversation and label who said what. • Noema 1.5 4B Deep and Noema 1.5 4B Fast: new models for hard problems and quick everyday answers. • iPad: open chats in separate windows. iPhone: use Noema in landscape. IMPROVED • A redesigned interface with higher contrast and clearer status indicators. • One switch per tool, kept in sync across the Tools tab, Settings and every chat. • Built-in Noema Search, with the option to use your own search provider. • More accurate memory estimates to help you choose models that fit your device. • Faster tab switching, smoother long chats, more on-device voices, podcasts saved in Stored, and many fixes.
