Start your journey with Private LLM today and elevate your productivity and creative projects with the most private AI assistant for iOS devices. Private LLM is a better alternative to generic llama.cpp and MLX wrappers apps like Enchanted, Ollama, LLM Farm, LM Studio, Locally AI, RecurseChat, etc on three fronts: 1. Private LLM uses a faster and highly-optimized mlc-llm based inference engine. 2. Models in Private LLM are quantized using the state of the art quantization algorithms like OmniQuant, while competing apps use naive round-to-nearest quantization. 3. Private LLM is a fully native app built using C++, Metal and Swift with deep integrations with iOS and iPadOS, while many of the competing apps are bloated and non-native Electron or Flutter based apps. Please note that Private LLM only supports inference with text based LLMs. Model support varies by device capabilities.

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome (with Soft & Friendly)

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f8f8fc;
  --surface: #ececf0;
  --foreground: #000000;
  --muted-foreground: #1a1a20;
  --accent: #6149c2;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "-apple-system", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "-apple-system", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F8F8FC (~73%) · Surface #ECECF0 (~15%) · Text #000000 (~6%) · Muted Text #1A1A20 (~4%) · Accent #6149C2 (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Metrics Strip, Customer Logo Wall
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
