Description by cogwheel(from Google Play)
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

I've used this for my openwebui through tail scale, and this app picks up everything perfectly. The UI is far superior to what OpenWebUI has as a PWA. Also haven't had any problems with tool calls, functions, etc. All the models/apis I've tried work on here flawlessly. Even remotely through tail scale!!
★★★★★Brendan Dijkstra· Sep 12, 2026
Works well and easy with local hosted open webui
★★★★★Carlo Afford· Oct 14, 2026
It is a great front end for an open UI instance. It just works. Point it at the endpoint, authenticate and it runs perfectly. Need access off LAN? Cool, Tail Scale handles that, so you can keep using Conduit for your local models on the go.
★★☆☆☆Grahm Larkham· Oct 8, 2026
Good effort here but unfortunately doesn't work for me. Seems my chats are too large for the app to download. At least, that's what my debugging session uncovered. In browser, it works fine, seemingly because the browser requests brotli encoding as opposed to gzip encoding which is what the app requests. For some reason, the gzip encoding serves double the size which seems correlated with a connection timeout in the app. This results in me not being able to read any of my chats. Char limit hit!
★☆☆☆☆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.
★☆☆☆☆Brian Ernst (leetNightshade)· Dec 7, 2025
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.
