An open-source Electron app that runs Google's Gemma 4 models locally on Apple Silicon via Apple's MLX framework, providing a chat interface and a coding agent with live preview. It works fully offline after the initial model download and also supports Ollama.

Use cases

• run a local ai chatbot on my mac without api keys
• vibe code offline with a local llm
• generate html css javascript projects with a local coding agent
• chat with gemma on apple silicon
• keep my code and prompts private on my own machine
• use voice input with local speech-to-text
• switch between local llm models on the fly

When to choose

• you have an Apple Silicon Mac and want fully offline LLM chat and code generation
• privacy matters and you don't want code sent to cloud servers
• you want a zero-config local model setup with live preview while coding
• you want a lightweight open model (~3 GB) instead of paid API access

When to avoid

• you need frontier-level coding quality from large cloud models
• you're on Windows, Linux, or non-Apple-Silicon hardware
• you need team collaboration or cloud sync features
• you don't have RAM/disk for multi-GB local models
