Maid
Maid is an open source mobile application for running local and remote artificial intelligence models.
Maid is a free and open source application designed for interacting with artificial intelligence models on mobile devices. It allows users to run GGUF models locally on-device using llama.cpp without an internet connection, or connect to remote providers including Anthropic, DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Ollama using API keys. The application is built with React Native and features one-tap model downloads from Hugging Face, conversation management with JSON export, and customizable generation parameters. It is built for Android users who want to manage chats and tune parameters per session on the go. The software includes optional Supabase account synchronization and supports Material You theming.
