Maid - Mobile Artificial Intelligence Distribution

Maid is a free and open source application for interfacing with llama.cpp models locally, and with Anthropic, DeepSeek, Ollama, Mistral and OpenAI models remotely. Maid is built using React Native and is available for Android. The application is designed to be fast, efficient and user-friendly, making it easy for users to interact with their models on the go.

For text to speech functionality check out Maid's companion app Maise.

Features

• One-tap model downloads — browse and download curated Hugging Face models (Qwen, Phi, LFM, TinyLlama, and more) directly from the app
• Bring your own model — load any GGUF file from local storage
• Conversation management — create, rename, delete, export, and import chats as JSON
• Customisable parameters — tune temperature, top-p, top-k, context length, and other generation parameters per session
• Custom system prompt — set a global system prompt and assistant persona
