CLUSTER DESKTOP-MODELS-PRIVATE · 26 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-03-14
Local AI desktop apps
This cluster comprises desktop applications that run private AI models locally, enabling chat, coding assistance, model organization, and code review while keeping data offline. The dated history is sparse, with one entry in July 2025, one in January 2026, one in March 2026, and two in June 2026, showing infrequent appearances. Traction leaders by activity are Vortex with 14 stars, followed by llmobi with 12 stars and deepLocal with 2 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
