About this app

Noema is a private AI assistant that runs local language models on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision—even offline. Chat with PDFs, EPUBs, and your own documents, download models that fit your device, or connect only the providers you choose.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

• Run supported models directly on your device.

• Local conversations and files stay on your device.

• No Noema account is required, and Noema does not collect your data.

CHAT WITH YOUR FILES

• Import PDFs, EPUBs, and textbooks.

• Ask questions and get answers grounded in indexed passages.

• Create summaries, notes, and flashcards from your own material.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT MODEL

• Discover and download supported local models.

• See memory-fit and context guidance before downloading.

• Use GGUF, MLX, ExecuTorch, Core ML, and supported Apple Foundation Models.…

Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

Version 4.2 · 2026-10-20
Noema 4.2 brings a cleaner, faster app, projects across your devices, and new ways to research, compare answers and remember what matters. NEW • Projects across devices: create a project on iPhone, iPad or Mac and attach folders from your Mac. Regular chats can continue on iPhone even when your Mac is offline. • Remote Control: send prompts to your Mac’s coding chats from iPhone or iPad. Your Mac runs the work and streams replies back. Risky actions still require approval on the Mac. • Deep Research: Noema plans the research, searches the web and writes a report with citations. Turn it into flashcards or a podcast. • Side Question, Compare Models and Regenerate With: ask a follow-up on the…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
