## What it is
Gollama is a Go-based TUI tool for managing Ollama models on macOS and Linux. It lets users list, inspect, sort, edit, run, unload, copy, rename, push, and delete local LLM models via hotkeys.

## Use cases
- clean up old ollama models
- inspect ollama model metadata and quantisation
- estimate vram usage for a local llm
- edit an ollama modelfile
- push ollama models to a registry
- unload running ollama models

## When to choose
- you use Ollama regularly and want a terminal UI to manage local models
- you need to reclaim disk space by deleting stale models
- you want quick inspection of model size, family, and quantisation

## When to avoid
- you use LM Studio linking (removed in v2.0.1)
- you primarily serve models with llama.cpp instead of Ollama
- you need a actively developed tool - maintenance has slowed

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, terminal-ui, developer-tools, llm-inference
- domain: large-language-models, developer-tools
- platform: cli, go
- tags: ollama, tui, gguf, model-management, local-llm, command-line, macos, linux
