Edsger: an iPhone app running local LLMs with offline chat and an on-device coding agent
pythononrailz · reddit · 2026-10-07
A developer built Edsger, an iPhone app that runs local models entirely on-device — no accounts, no rate limits, works offline.
- Offline chat and file uploads
- Built-in coding agent that writes, runs, and fixes code in Python, C, JavaScript, and Lua, executing code on the device itself
- Positioned honestly: not claiming phone models beat Claude or ChatGPT, just that it's always available and unlimited
Aimed at developers and students who want AI on hardware they own; the author is soliciting feedback on whether unlimited local AI has real demand.
