## What it is
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
