Chatlo Launches an AI Agent App for iPhone and iPad

Summary

Chatlo is a productivity app for iPhone and iPad that presents itself as an AI-native agent rather than a conventional chat client. It can research topics, search and summarize information, organize health and activity data, plan schedules and to-dos, process long content, and choose tools for a task. The listing says users can switch among DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, Qwen, Jev, and more than 10 AI models and services, connect their own API keys, or use Jev and NanoJev MLX locally. Its privacy design keeps API keys on the device, uses no Chatlo backend servers or usage tracking, and allows supported local models to run without an internet connection; iCloud sync is optional. With permission, the app can access Health data, recognize photos, read clipboard content, run Shortcuts, and use other iPhone and iPad capabilities. The listing also advertises a Linux sandbox, browser-based research, Skills, MCP, and tool integrations, although these capabilities are described by the developer rather than independently verified. Chatlo requires iOS 17 or later, offers a free download with in-app purchases, and lists monthly, annual, and lifetime Pro options. Version 1.4 was listed as a bug-fix release, while earlier updates added Jev and NanoJev MLX and improved model caching. Apple’s privacy disclosure says purchase history may be collected for analytics and app functionality, and notes that the information is not verified by Apple.
