The bottom line

The best self-hosted, ChatGPT-style front-end for local LLMs; free and powerful, but you bring the hardware and do the hosting.

What it really is

An open-source, self-hosted web interface that gives local LLM runners like Ollama (and OpenAI-compatible APIs) a polished, ChatGPT-style chat experience - run entirely on your own hardware.

Our take

It is the de-facto front-end for private, local AI: a clean multi-user UI with chat history, document RAG, web search, voice/vision and a plugin/Pipelines system, pairing with Ollama so no data or tokens leave your machine. The honest catch is that it is just the interface - you self-host it (Docker/pip) and run the models yourself, so you need a capable machine and a little setup.

Best for
People wanting a private, local ChatGPT alternative
Teams self-hosting multi-user AI with RBAC/SSO
Tinkerers connecting Ollama and OpenAI-compatible APIs
Not good for
Non-technical users wanting zero-setup cloud AI
Anyone without hardware to run local models
People who just want a hosted account, not self-hosting
Friction report
Time to value
Self-host via Docker or pip (often bundled with Ollama), then open it in the browser - roughly a 10-minute setup on a ready machine.
Scale breakpoint
It is only the UI: you provide compute (a GPU helps), run/manage models in Ollama, and handle hosting/updates yourself.
Walled garden
None - MIT-licensed, model-agnostic and your data stays local.
