Ensu (Ente's local LLM app) is currently very limited. The app requires a sign-in, yet key features are labeled as 'coming soon.' Standard functionalities, such as selecting or downloading alternative models, are completely missing. Currently, only one 5-6GB model is available. Furthermore, file support is restricted solely to image formats (WEBP, PNG, AVIF, JPEG, HEIF), with no option to upload documents. It feels like a waste of time at this stage.

hard to find details about what model is being used. Ente's inhouse model? Qwen? Llama?

Would be nice to see this info front and center

What is Ensu?

Ensu is a private, offline AI chat app that runs entirely on your device.

Chat, think, and write without sending your data to the cloud. Ensu uses local language models, so your conversations stay with you - no accounts, no tracking, no usage limits.

Designed as a personal AI that grows with you, Ensu works even without internet access and is perfect for private reflection, reading discussions, or long flights. It’s open source, cross-platform, and built with a shared Rust core for performance and reliability.

Optional end-to-end encrypted backups and sync across devices are coming soon.

Key features

  • Fully on-device AI - works offline
  • No data collection, no subscriptions
  • Open source and privacy-first
  • Available across mobile and desktop

Your AI. Your device. Your control.
