About Maid
Maid is an open-source Android app for interacting with llama.cpp models locally and with remote language model services. It runs GGUF models on-device without internet, and connects to providers including Anthropic, DeepSeek, Mistral, Ollama and OpenAI, as well as API Route, DaoXE, Novita, llmman, OrcaRouter and LiteLLM.
The app downloads curated Hugging Face models, loads GGUF files from storage, manages chats with JSON export and import, and allows adjustment of generation parameters and system prompt. Remote access uses the user's own API key or a self-hosted proxy, voice output uses the separate Maise app, and settings backup uses optional Supabase login.
