Friendly interface to chat with an Ollama instance.

🦙 Ellama

Ellama is a friendly interface to chat with a local or remote Ollama instance.

🦙 Features

• Chat History: create, delete and edit model settings per-chat.
• Multimodality: easily use vision capabilities of any multimodal model, such as LLaVA.
• Ollama: no need to install new inference engines, connect to a regular Ollama instance instead.
• Resource Efficient: minimal RAM and CPU usage.
• Free: no need to buy any subscriptions or servers, just fire up a local Ollama instance.

🦙 Quickstart

1. Download the latest Ellama release from the Releases page.
   • or build & install from source:

     $ git clone https://github.com/zeozeozeo/ellama.git
     $ cd ellama
     $ cargo install --path .

2. In the Settings ⚙️ tab, change the Ollama host if needed (default is http://127.0.0.1:11434)
3. In the same tab, select a model that will be used for new chats by default. Ellama will try to select the best model on the first run.
4. Close the Settings tab, create a new chat by pressing the "➕ New Chat" button, and start chatting!
5. To add images, click the ➕ button next to the text field, drag them onto Ellama's window, or paste them from your clipboard.

🦙 Wishlist

These features are not yet present in Ellama, but they would be nice to have:

• Support OpenAI-Compatible APIs: currently only has Ollama support
• A "Notes" section, where you can edit and write LLM-asissted notes
• Publish on crates.io: currently still relies on some git dependencies
