Users running self-hosted Open WebUI servers on local or private infrastructure have no native iOS client, forcing them to use a PWA that feels slow and lacks native device integration. The gap drives privacy-conscious users back to commercial AI apps. Open Relay was built specifically to fill this gap, confirming both the demand and the technical feasibility.
