Description
Conduit is an open-source, native mobile client for Open WebUI, direct model endpoints, and self-hosted agents. Your chats live on your device first. Nothing routes through a backend the maintainer operates.
Three ways to connect - Open WebUI — your self-hosted server with chats, folders, notes, channels, workspace, tools, web search, and image generation - Direct — OpenAI-compatible APIs, Ollama, OpenRouter, and local endpoints. No Open WebUI account required - Hermes — your self-hosted agent with live tools, approvals for sensitive steps, and scheduled work
Built for mobile - Real-time streaming chat with model selection, temporary chats, search, and folders - File, image, audio, and clipboard uploads for multimodal prompts - Voice input, voice-call mode, share sheet, quick actions, and home screen widgets - Rich rendering for Markdown, code, LaTeX, Mermaid, Chart.js, citations, reasoning, and tool calls - Notes, saved prompts, channels, terminal, and other features when your server supports them - Light, dark, and system themes with secure credential storage (Keystore)
Built for real deployments - Sign in with username/password, LDAP, JWT, OAuth/SSO, reverse-proxy flows, and custom HTTP headers - No ads, no analytics SDKs, and no developer-operated relay server
Requirements - Conduit does not host models or provide an AI service. You connect to servers and providers you control. - Available features depend on what you connect to.
Permissions - Microphone: Voice input - Camera and Photos/Storage: Image/file attachments - Network: Connect to your servers and providers

It started off unreliable but after updates it jsut got more polished and it is so goos now. I would recommend this for Open Web UI on mobile, even if not 100% of the Open Web UI features are there.

Connect to my server ✅️ Chat with my self-hosted models ✅️ Job done, good app ✅️
★★★★★Michael Kratz· May 28, 2026
5 stars, love the implementation thus far! One thing I would love to see improved is web socket connectivity and a quick recheck option when disconnected! I use tail scale, so I think this may introduce a potential for web socket failures. Currently the app just says something is wrong when sending a chat. I think on startup it should to a web socket check and offer a quick reconnect option if needed! Thanks for your time and effort for the open source community!

It is very useful for openwebui I used to don't use openwebui because I don't like web apps. This app gave me the android native openwebui interface.
★☆☆☆☆Kazuto Samurai-sama· Sep 16, 2026
Seems promising, but I cannot share files with the models. It keeps saying in bold red "service unavailable" after I send the prompt... when there is a dedicated option to share files ? I've been using OpenWebUI for a while and was very excited about a mobile version of it. But besides that, it works. Edit : 90% of my ongoing chat's earlier history somehow vanished. So I have my chat, same title and everything, but the earlier inputs and outputs are all gone. I wouldn't recommend the app for now.

Doesn't work. I opened a PR on GitHub outlining the simple issue when trying to add a server. Owner closed the issue and doesn't seem interested in resolving the bug. I'm using another OpenWebUI client without issue, whereas this app does not recognize my local http server that otherwise works in browsers across several other devices.
★☆☆☆☆Peter B· Jun 18, 2026
So close. I won't leave this as a 1 star, but it's kind of important. During the voice loop there's a pretty major bug. Hitting the voice input the first time works, then it reads the response just fine, but then it appears to set a very small retry time and doesn't wait for silence before closing the STT, I can get in maybe two words and only if I time it right.
