What’s New Version 2.6.11
Version 2.6.11 build 9 simplifies the default local-chat flow. Discover now leads with Apple Foundation Models where available or a recommended local GGUF model, keeps catalog filters behind one Refine control in Simple mode, and moves storage/catalog maintenance details out of the way unless they need attention. Library now focuses on models that need action and models ready to use before maintenance details.
Description
PocketModel brings private, on-device AI chat to your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Start with the easiest path for your device. On supported Apple Intelligence hardware, PocketModel can use Apple Foundation Models with no model download required. Everywhere else, PocketModel highlights a recommended local GGUF model first, then keeps deeper catalog filters available when you want them.
PocketModel is built for people who want personal AI without creating an account or sending normal chat requests to a cloud inference service.
Features:
- Apple Foundation Models support on compatible devices with no download required
- Curated local GGUF model catalog with device-aware recommendations
- Simple default mode that puts Apple Foundation Models or the recommended local model before advanced filters
- Device-fit filtering, runtime budget status, and fallback/degraded state indicators when you need more detail
- Private chat history stored on-device
- Thinking Mode on supported models
- Prompt suggestions for empty chats and follow-up suggestions after replies
- Search within the current chat and across saved chats
- Edit, regenerate, or fork earlier prompts into a new chat
- Image attachments for supported local model workflows
- Structured replies with preserved lists, links, and code formatting
- Download, pause, resume, retry, update, and remove local models
- Advanced: browse and install any GGUF file directly from a model's HuggingFace repository
- Bundled and user-imported GGUF models are clearly distinguished in Discover and Library
- Redacted diagnostics export that excludes prompt text, conversation text, document text, attachment paths, and personal facts
- iPhone, iPad, and Mac support
- No sign-up required
PocketModel is designed around privacy-first usage. Chat generation and saved history stay on-device during normal use. Network access is used for actions you explicitly trigger, such as downloading model files or refreshing the curated catalog when that capability is enabled in a build.

- Hardened model switching so active chats wait for the new model to finish loading before send or rerun can continue
- Fixed a regression where a newly generated assistant reply could lose its model label after the first chat update
- Fixed a generation-replacement race so canceling a previous response no longer interrupts the replacement response
- Improved completed-response formatting so finished replies preserve the readable structure users saw while streaming, copying, and exporting
- Added top/bottom jump controls for long chats, contextual follow-up reply chips, and tap-to-dismiss keyboard behavior in chat
- Corrected the Settings version display so it matches the app bundle metadata
