LM Studio
Run powerful local LLMs on your Mac without touching a terminal
About LM Studio
LM Studio makes running local LLMs feel like using a normal Mac app: browse models, click download, start chatting — no terminal required.
Its MLX support is the reason it belongs on Apple Silicon; models run noticeably faster than generic builds. There's an OpenAI-compatible local server too, handy for developers pointing tools at localhost instead of the cloud.
It's free for both personal and work use, which removed the last excuse not to try it. Privacy-minded users get capable AI without a single byte leaving the machine.
