No telemetry leaves your devices
It stays in the app or on your Spark. We won't collect it or send it to an analytics service.

Supercomputer power.
Made for everyone.
We're building a free app for your NVIDIA DGX Spark. It helps you get set up and use the AI on your own machine, without having to be a technical expert.
Free forever. Open source. No ads.
Coming to iPhone, iPad, and Mac AI runs on your Spark Free forever
Let's get you set up.
Follow the steps to your first conversation.
I already use a SparkCheck on it from your phone.
See how the app handles models and everyday controls.
Try the screenshot demo
Go on,
tap the phone.
Tap a Spark to check on it, or open Chats to see a conversation. These are screens from the app we're building.
How are your Sparks doing?
See which Sparks are online and what's installed on them. The numbers here were captured with the screenshot, so they won't update.
We've linked up screenshots from our simulator. This isn't a live app, and nothing you tap will change a real Spark.

Our goal is 10 minutes
From unboxing
to your first chat.
The app walks you through setup. You don't need to know which commands to run.
- 01
Connect your Spark
Join its setup Wi-Fi using the Quick Start details or QR code.
- 02
Follow the guide
Finish the initial setup and install Spark Runtime, the software that connects your Spark to the app.
- 03
Pair securely
Connect your Apple device and choose the model you want to use.
- 04
Say hello
Start a private conversation with the AI running on your Spark.
We haven't benchmarked that time yet. Updates and model downloads may take longer, depending on your connection.
Planned support
Foundation Model Intents
We're planning Foundation Model Intents so you can use AI from your Spark or cluster on your Apple devices.This isn't available yet.
Chat on your own hardware
The model runs
on your Spark.
Ask a question in the app and read the reply as it arrives. You can return to earlier conversations and view reasoning when the model provides it.
Start on your local network.
Your Apple device connects directly to your Spark. You don't have to enable remote access.
What we won't compromise on
No ads, ever
We won't put ads in SparkPilot. That won't change.
Free forever
You already bought the hardware. SparkPilot won't add a subscription or charge you to unlock features.
Open source
We'll publish the code so you can read it yourself. The public repository isn't ready yet.
Your Apple deviceYour networkYour Spark
What uses the internet?
Model downloads and software updates do. Finding your Spark, pairing it, and using it on your local network don't need our servers.
Spark Runtime doesn't save the text of your questions or replies by default. Remote access is optional, and no telemetry will leave the app or your Spark.
Coming to iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Use the screen
that suits you.
We're building a native app for each device. This is the iPad version, waiting for its first Spark to be paired.
- Apple devices
- We're currently building for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26.
- Your hardware
- An NVIDIA DGX Spark with Spark Runtime installed.
- Your connection
- Start on your local network. Remote access is optional.
These requirements may change before release.
What we're working on
More than a place to chat.
There's a lot to manage on a Spark. Here's what we're building into the app, with the beta feature list still to be confirmed.
Siri and Shortcuts
Ask your Spark a question through a shortcut. You can also check its status or load a model without opening the app.
Summarise and rewrite
Get the short version of a long document, or try a different wording for a draft. The model runs on your Spark.
File analysis
Send a supported file to your Spark for analysis and come back for the result when it is ready.
Status alerts
Know when a task finishes or your Spark goes offline. Get a warning when memory or a running model needs attention.
More than one Spark
See your paired Sparks together and check what each one is running. You can compare memory use and temperature, too.
Memory controls
Adjust the memory guard settings and decide whether an idle model stays loaded or unloads to free up memory.
Network settings
Set up Wi-Fi or a wired connection from the app. Travel hotspot and optional remote access settings live here, too.
Hardware controls
Adjust power profiles and temperature limits, or manage Bluetooth devices from your phone.
Software updates
Check for Spark Runtime and system updates, then follow the installation in the app.
Storage management
See what's taking up disk space and remove downloaded models you no longer use.
Paired devices
See which devices can access your Spark and remove any that should no longer have access.
Open WebUI
Prefer chatting in a browser? Install and manage Open WebUI on your Spark using a signed installation recipe.
Where we're up to
Still building,
with plenty to show.
See the app so far
The tour shows your Sparks, health readings, models, chat, and settings. You can also look at the first setup step.
Foundation Model Intents and clusters
You can manage several Sparks separately in the app. Using them together to run one model is a separate feature we're planning.
The beta and source code
We'll add TestFlight and repository links here when they're ready. For now, you can email us about the beta.
For DGX Spark owners
Looking for your
next project?
NVIDIA's guides are a good place to start. SparkPilot is our independent effort to make everyday use easier from an Apple device.
From NVIDIA
DGX Spark playbooks
Project ideas and instructions for getting them running on your Spark.
From NVIDIAUsing NVIDIA Sync?
Sync connects desktop tools over SSH and launches apps. SparkPilot gives you native chat and controls on your Apple devices.
SparkPilot has no NVIDIA affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.
Why we're building SparkPilot
For the rest of us, too.
A DGX Spark can do a lot. Getting something useful out of it shouldn't depend on how comfortable you are with a terminal.
We want you to be able to pick up your phone, ask a question, and get an answer from the machine you own. That's why we're making SparkPilot free and open source.
What do you wish was easier on your Spark?Before you get started
