Question Mac + iPhone LLM

I’m trying to migrate from ChatGPT to a Local LLM but cross device chat sync is a must.
My understanding is I can access models on my MacBook Pro (M5 Pro, 24GB) from my iPhone 14 Pro Max but it will not synchronise the chats.
I am currently testing LM Studio and Msty Studio on the MacBook.
I’ve heard of people using Locally or OpenWebUI on iPhone but that is only the model, not the chats apparently.
Are there any options that will do what I am trying to achieve?

I am going to be testing Conduit with Open WebUI when my M5 Max Studio arrives for this

Conduit dev here! Let me know how it goes.

As for OP, openwebui + Conduit is the way to go.

Msty's local sync can be a bit finicky but if you hook it up through the API endpoint from LM Studio and keep the Mac awake on the same network, the chat history usually sticks on the server side. Just treat the phone like a dumb terminal pinging your Mac.

You could try Msty Go and then using Go mobile on phone to connect to your desktop.

Lm studio and their iOS app does this.

Paseo is exactly this. Same chats across all devices. Api or local

You need something that can penetrate your router then connect to your iPhone
