Reins: for Ollama & LM Studio

Summary

Reins: for Ollama & LM Studio is a developer tools app from Ibrahim Cetin for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Its listing points to Ollama or a similar model server, so models may run on a machine you host rather than on the device itself; check the listing.

It is free to download (in-app purchases are not visible in the API). The most recent version we saw (2.3.2) is dated 2026-09-29.

Heads-up: this app appears to talk to an Ollama-style server. Models may run on a computer you host instead of on the phone or Mac itself.
