# LM Studio Mobile App
The official mobile companion to [[LM Studio]], called **Locally** (acquired by LM Studio in 2026). It lets you use the [[Large Language Models (LLMs)]] running on your desktop computer from your phone, so a frontier-sized model executes at home while you chat from anywhere.
The bridge is **LM Link** — a feature in desktop LM Studio that securely connects your devices and exposes your local models remotely. All data and communication between devices is end-to-end encrypted, and chats are saved locally on each device.
## Key points
- **Locally** = the iOS app (iPhone + iPad, via the App Store); first version launched 4 June 2026.
- **LM Link** = the desktop-side feature that pairs devices and serves your local models to them.
- Compute stays on your machine — the phone is a remote client, not the inference engine.
- End-to-end encrypted; chat history stored locally per device.
- Preserves the [[AI Privacy]] / local-first benefit of LM Studio while adding mobile access.
