iPhone, iPad and Android do not bundle an Ollama runtime. Their processing choices should be understood from the app’s mobile OCR, rules, voice and online AI capabilities.
A phone can offer useful offline tools without pretending to run the Mac model integration.
Use supported on-device facilities
Local reading and rules can handle simpler work, and imported voice notes use downloaded supported language packs. These are not a general local language-model installation. Choose the route suited to the source instead of looking for Mac-specific controls on a phone.
Choose gateway AI explicitly
When you request mobile online AI, the app uses its configured gateway rather than a provider key embedded in the binary. Check the source and review the returned interpretation. This server-assisted reading does not change the fact that the saved workspace remains device-local and unsynchronized.
Keep the processing choice visible
On a phone, start with a source that the mobile tools can handle directly, such as recognized text or a supported short voice file. Inspect the available reading modes in that installation rather than following a Mac model-download guide word for word. If you choose gateway AI, read the displayed source and processing notice before starting. If internet access is unavailable, consider a reviewed manual task or local rules rather than searching for an unbundled Ollama runtime. This keeps the phone workflow useful on its own terms. The result you save should reflect the facilities actually used on that device, not an assumption that every desktop model option exists behind the same-looking mobile screen.
One step at a time.
- 01
Inspect the mobile app’s available reading modes.
- 02
Use local OCR, rules or supported offline voice where appropriate.
- 03
Choose online AI only for approved source processing.
- 04
Review the result before saving the device-local entry.
A little reference.
Keep the context and your next action together.
| Choice | Use it for | Check before saving |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile local tools | OCR, rules and supported voice | Not an Ollama runtime |
| Online AI | Configured app gateway | Needs internet and approval |
| Mac local model | Optional desktop integration | Different setup path |
Do mobile users need to paste the developer’s provider key?
No. Production online processing uses the app gateway with provider credentials kept server-side.
