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 4.0.1 · Updated September 24, 2026
Noema 4.0.1 includes a small bug fix and everything introduced in 4.0: our biggest step forward on Mac, with thoughtful improvements across every Apple platform. • A native Mac project workspace brings folders, tasks, file search and editor tabs, agent activity, approval-gated edits, change review, and checkpoints into one place. Work can stay with compatible on-device models, or use remote models you configure. • Mac projects can now keep a working folder with chats, shared instructions, and sources. Noema can reconnect to an existing model library instead of asking you to download the same models again. • New approval controls make agent behavior explicit: ask before file changes, allow workspace edits while still approving commands, or keep a chat read-only. • A new Disable Noema System Prompts setting lets you send no Noema-authored system message at all—including the date, tool guidance, and app-added instructions. Custom and model-specific prompts are ignored while it is enabled. • Streaming is safer. Noema now detects responses that stop before the model reports completion, clearly asks you to retry, and refuses to run incomplete or invalid tool arguments. • iPhone and iPad receive more reliable composer and attachment behavior, including better image-picker sequencing and controls that stay anchored correctly across layouts. • Model loading and hardware detection are more dependable, with updated llama.cpp foundations, improved memory reporting on Apple silicon, and better compatibility checks for GGUF settings. • Mac relay discovery no longer repeatedly asks for Bluetooth permission when it is not needed, and 4.0 includes broad fixes and localization polish throughout chat, tools, projects, downloads, and model management.
