Local AI chat for iPhone(test build), built on a custom engine

AI summary

OwnOwl is a time-limited test build that runs a large language model entirely on an iPhone, with no internet used for chatting and conversations kept on the device. It requires an iPhone with 6 GB of RAM or more and iOS 17 or newer, plus about 6 GB (GigaChat), 9 GB (Ling), or 14 GB (Gemma) of free storage for the chosen model, and is installed via AltStore or Sideloadly using your own Apple ID. Version 0.2 adds faster first replies, a Continue button for longer answers, memory of user-confirmed facts, and stability fixes; the app and its inference engine are proprietary and the build expires.
