Resource Efficient: minimal RAM and CPU usage.
Free: no need to buy any subscriptions or servers, just fire up a local Ollama instance.

Quickstart

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 .

In the Settings ⚙️ tab, change the Ollama host if needed (default is http://127.0.0.1:11434)
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.
Close the Settings tab, create a new chat by pressing the "➕ New Chat" button, and start chatting!
To add images, click the ➕ button next to the text field, drag them onto Ellama's window, or paste them from your clipboard.

[!NOTE]

By default, Ellama will build with the tts feature OFF. If you need TTS, build with cargo build --features tts.

Note that on Linux, this requires libspeechd (libspeechd-dev) to be installed. TTS is currently not enabled in release builds because of this (cross-compilation complications), see https://github.com/zeozeozeo/ellama/issues/71
