Hi HN,
I've been using Ollama recently and wanted a GUI that's both powerful and able to run across multiple devices. Existing solutions like OpenWebUI didn't grab me since I'd have to install either Python or Docker just to run a GUI.
So I made LlamaPen. LlamaPen is an open-source, web-GUI that lets you interface with your local instance of Ollama without needing to install anything extra. It supports the basics like chats, conversations, and model selection, and also has additional features, such as model management & downloading, mobile/PWA/offline support, formatting markdown and model think text, and more.

Ollama’s new app is now available for macOS and Windows. Yes, you need to install it, but the process is simple and straightforward, so I don’t see a problem here.

Good point but as someone who uses Linux I currently don't have that option. Even then I still probably wouldn't use it due to it not being open-source.
