About ChatterUI
ChatterUI is an open source native mobile frontend for language models (LLMs). It is designed to give a mobile-friendly chat interface with fine-grained control over how chats are structured. Users can run gguf model files on the device in Local Mode, or connect to remote services in Remote Mode.
In Remote Mode, requests go to external API providers, so how those providers handle data depends on the provider chosen. The app is distributed as an APK from its releases page, and the source states that iOS is currently unavailable.
Key features
- Runs gguf model files on the device in Local Mode
- Connects to APIs such as OpenAI, Claude, Ollama, and koboldcpp in Remote Mode
- Chats with characters using the Character Card v2 specification
- Creates and manages multiple chats per character
- Customizes sampler fields and instruct formatting
- Defines custom API providers through a template system
Best for: Android users who want a mobile chat interface for running gguf models on their device or connecting to supported language model APIs.
Good for
- Open source, licensed under AGPL-3.0
