CLUSTER MODELS-CHAT-OLLAMA · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-02-04
Local AI chat clients
This cluster comprises desktop and web applications that provide a chat interface for interacting with locally hosted AI models, primarily via Ollama, with some supporting multiple backends and document/image context. The dated history before the index start shows a sparse and uneven pattern: a couple of entries in early 2024, a few scattered through 2025, and a couple in 2026, suggesting occasional development rather than a continuous stream. Among members with activity signals, ollama-gui-simple leads with 150 stars, far ahead of Aether's 1 star and lm-studio-bin's 0 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 13 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
