Nativ is a free, Open Source macOS app for running AI models locally on Apple Silicon Macs. The app bundles an mlx-vlm server in a SwiftUI interface and serves as a chat client, model manager, and performance dashboard, as well as a local Inference server compatible with OpenAI and Anthropic. It supports language, vision, video, code, audio, and embedding models without requiring an account, subscription, or cloud connection – prompts and files never leave your Mac. Nativ was developed by Prince Canuma (GitHub: Blaizzy), the author of mlx-vlm and mlx-audio.
