## Editorial review

Open-source desktop app (MIT) for running LLMs entirely on your machine. Wraps llama.cpp with model discovery, chat history, and an OpenAI-compatible localhost server. Cross-platform. Strong UX for non-engineers — drop in a GGUF model, chat. Aims to be the 'open-source Ollama with a UI.'
