Description
Valdis is an AI companion that keeps one conversation going across your Mac and iPhone — at home, on a walk, and offline.
Valdis is built natively for macOS and iOS — no Electron, no fake web UI.
At home, chat in text or voice — with your Mac doing the heavy lifting (local Ollama by default, with LM Studio as a local-first alternative).
You can also send images in chat — pick from Photos, the camera, files, or paste/drag-and-drop. Valdis passes images to supported multimodal models so you can ask about what you see.
When you step outside, switch to Walk & Talk for hands-free voice.
On a plane or without internet, use Apple’s on-device model (Foundation Models) on supported Apple Intelligence devices.
Back online, switch back to your Mac — or to a cloud provider you choose — and keep going without resetting.
WALK & TALK (HANDS-FREE VOICE)
- Real-time voice chat with on-device speech-to-text (WhisperKit)
- Spoken replies (hands-free)
- A 3D avatar with lip-sync and animations (RealityKit)
CONTINUITY THAT DOESN’T RESET
Keep the same conversation going across iPhone and Mac, so you don’t have to repeat yourself.
APPLE ON-DEVICE (FOUNDATION MODELS)
When Apple Intelligence is available, Valdis can use Apple’s on-device model for fast, private replies — even offline.
Requires Apple Intelligence to be enabled in Settings.
MAC-POWERED INFERENCE
Run bigger models on your Mac and talk to them from your iPhone:
- macOS runs local Ollama by default (LM Studio is also supported!)
- Vision models are supported (so you can send images) when the selected provider/model supports it
- Your iPhone can use your Mac for inference while you’re out
REAL-TIME iPHONE ↔ MAC SYNC
Keep your conversation in sync between iPhone and Mac when your iPhone is using your Mac as the provider:
- Your Mac app hosts the server your iPhone connects to
- Works over local network, VPN, or Tailscale
LOCAL FIRST
- No Valdis cloud: Valdis doesn’t have its own servers — sync happens only between your devices when you use your Mac as the provider.
- Your Mac app can act as your backend (and sync host) when your iPhone uses it as the provider.
- Cloud providers are opt-in and used for inference only.
- Zero telemetry: no analytics, no crash reporting.

What's new (v1.7.7)
- Restored attachments affected by the previous storage migration.
- Smoothed out TTSKit on iOS and generally cleaned up the TTS flow, so playback, stopping, and transitions between speech input and spoken responses are now more reliable.
