LocalRAG!

LocalRAG is an application that lets you ask questions about your personal documents using artificial intelligence. It works with files like PDFs, Word documents, and EPUBs. You can use it on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. It offers a way to get answers from your documents without needing to read through them all yourself.

Benefits

LocalRAG makes it easy to find information within your documents. It supports many file types, including scanned documents thanks to its on-device OCR. You can group related documents into collections and ask questions that cover all of them at once. This saves you time and effort. Because it processes your documents on your device, your information stays private and secure. If you choose the offline AI mode, your documents never leave your device, and you don't even need an internet connection. You can ask questions in plain language and get answers with references to where the information came from in your documents.

Use Cases

This app is useful for anyone who needs to quickly find information within a large number of documents. Students can use it to study textbooks or research papers. Professionals can use it to manage project documents, compare technical standards, or review contracts and medical records. It helps you understand content from multiple sources by allowing you to ask questions across all of them simultaneously.

Pricing

LocalRAG has a free plan that allows 5 questions per day using either Claude Haiku or the on-device AI. For more questions and features, there are paid plans: Standard at $4.99 per month and Pro at $9.99 per month. You can also use your own Anthropic API key for unlimited questions, paying Anthropic directly for that usage. You can cancel your subscription at any time. A 1-week free trial is also available.

Vibes

LocalRAG is designed to be a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based document Q&A tools. It emphasizes keeping your data on your device, especially when using its offline AI mode. This makes it a good choice for sensitive information. It offers a hybrid approach, allowing users to choose between on-device processing for privacy or cloud models like Claude for potentially higher accuracy, sending only necessary snippets to the cloud.

Additional Information

LocalRAG offers a free plan, a Standard plan at $4.99/month, and a Pro plan at $9.99/month. Users can also opt to use their own Anthropic API key. A 1-week free trial is available.
