Cherry Studio Mobile

Cherry Studio Mobile is the open-source iOS and Android app of Cherry Studio for chatting with many AI models, running agents and making images.

Cherry Studio Mobile brings the Cherry Studio AI client to iOS and Android. Users connect several AI providers, manage their models, and pick a model for each conversation, with streaming Markdown replies and image and text attachments where the model supports them. Agents can have their own instructions, default models and tools, and they can be extended with plugins, MCP servers, web search and page reading, with approval steps for tool actions. An image section creates pictures from prompts or visual templates and keeps a drawing history. The app pairs with Cherry Studio Desktop to import provider settings and models, and it is open source under the AGPL license, while some providers need their own API key and charge for use.
