About
Desktop app for discovering, downloading, and running open LLMs on your own machine, with llama.cpp and MLX runtimes under the hood. It serves loaded models over a local REST API with OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, and ships TypeScript and Python SDKs, a CLI, MCP support, and a headless service mode for running without the GUI.
