Your Friendly Local AI Companion

Ollie (formerly OllamaGUI) is a personal AI assistant you run on your own Linux machine. It provides a polished, modern interface for chatting with local LLMs via Ollama—no CLI required.

If you want a personal, single-user assistant that feels premium, fast, and always-on, this is it.

Highlights

Local-First Experience Ollie runs entirely on your machine. Your chats, data, and models stay private. No cloud dependencies, no tracking.

Modern Chat Interface A clean, distraction-free UI built with React and Tailwind. Supports full Markdown rendering, code highlighting, tables, and math equations.

Model Management Pull, delete, and manage your Ollama models directly from the app. No need to drop to the terminal.

Vision & File Analysis Drag and drop images to analyze them with vision models like LLaVA. Upload PDFs and text files to chat with your documents instantly.

Monitoring Dashboard Real-time tracking of your system resources (CPU, Memory) and model performance while generating responses.
