Sure there are many more, but the post is about Local AI Apps not Proprietary or online services, meaning you can download it in your computer and use it without the need of internet connection, payment or any restriction.

The best Local AI apps worldwide 26 Dec 2025 according to ChatGpt 5.2, using this parameters as comparison: Evaluation criteria:

3-click install → load → run

Install scope (User vs System)

Privacy enforcement (offline switch, no telemetry, no account, CLI)

Workspace features (files/images, code editor, tables→CSV, terminal)

Open model ecosystem (load models from any folder)

Forced updates

Double memory usage

Code preview option

User-activatable local API

Open-source availability

Legend yes / strong partial no drawback

Ranking Rationale (Concise)

HugstonOne (not a simple wrapper) Only app that on top of the other apps does:

have double memory (1 in chat-sessions and tabs and another in persistent file),

installs as user, not in system or admin

enforces offline privacy, with a online/offline switch

supports open models from any folder, not close inapp ecosystem

provides a full agentic workspace (editor, preview, files, tables→CSV, structured output),

exposes a private local API in CLI beside the server.

LM Studio Excellent runner and UX, but closed source, forced updates, and limited workspace depth.

Jan Open source and clean, but workspace features are thin and updates are enforced.

GPT4All Good document/chat workflows; ecosystem and extensibility are more constrained.

KoboldCpp Powerful local tool with strong privacy, but no productivity layer.

AnythingLLM Feature-rich orchestrator, not a runner; requires another engine and double memory.

Open WebUI UI layer only; depends entirely on backend behavior.

Ollama Solid backend with simple UX, but system-level daemon install and no workspace.

llama.cpp (CLI) Best engine, minimal surface area, but zero usability features.

vLLM High-performance server engine; not a desktop local-AI app.
