Show HN: Pair your iPhone to your own Ollama over Tailscale with a QR scan (github.com)

The recent release of MyLLM Connect introduces a streamlined way for users to connect their iPhone to a personal AI backend running on their Mac or PC. By leveraging Tailscale for secure remote access, this desktop companion app eliminates the usual complexities of setting up a local LLM server. Users can simply scan a QR code to establish a trusted HTTPS connection, making it easy to send prompts directly from the MyLLM app on their iOS devices to their local machine without concerns about data privacy. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it empowers users to maintain control over their data while interacting with advanced language models. The companion app simplifies the technical process—running a local model server, securing a valid HTTPS endpoint, and managing access keys—allowing users to engage with AI technology without the risk of data exploitation inherent in cloud services. Future updates will enable the ability to invite trusted individuals to connect to the same server, fostering a more private and secure AI interaction environment.
