Ollama GUI is a web-based chat interface for interacting with local LLMs served through the Ollama API. It offers local chat history via IndexedDB, Markdown rendering, dark mode, and can be self-hosted via Docker or used as a hosted client pointing at a local Ollama instance.

Use cases

• chat with local llms through a web interface
• give ollama a graphical chat ui
• self-host a chatgpt-like interface for local models
• keep chat history locally while talking to local models
• run ollama and a chat gui together in docker
• access an ollama chat interface from other devices on my network

When to choose

• you run models with Ollama and want a polished browser-based chat UI
• you want chat history stored locally in the browser for privacy
• you want a one-command Docker setup bundling Ollama and the GUI
• you prefer a lightweight Vue app over heavier alternatives like Open WebUI

When to avoid

• you need multi-user accounts, RAG, or advanced features beyond basic chatting
• you use LLM backends other than Ollama
• you need a production deployment with the dev proxy (it's development-only)
• you want a native desktop or mobile app rather than a web interface
