Deprecated

Connect for Mac is deprecated. It keeps working through the end of 2026. The replacement is LM Mini Home → Share with phone. Windows and Linux Connect are still current. Why

LM Mini Connect

Encrypted relay companion for your phone. On Mac, prefer LM Mini Home. On Windows and Linux, this is still the app you install next to LM Studio or Ollama.

1

Mac

Download LM Mini Home → Share with phone. Scan the QR from the phone’s Remote Access. Mac Connect DMGs below still work until 31 Dec 2026.

2

Windows / Linux

Install Connect beside LM Studio / Ollama. Pair once with QR. This is the current companion until a first-party desktop app ships.

3

Same Wi‑Fi

LM Studio and Ollama never needed Connect. Point the phone at your LAN IP. Getting started.
