OllamaTalk is a fully local, cross-platform AI chat application designed for secure, private conversations using Ollama. It targets users who want to run AI models entirely on their devices, offering a unified experience across macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS without cloud dependencies.

How It Works

OllamaTalk acts as a client application that interfaces with a locally running Ollama server. Users install Ollama, download desired AI models (e.g., Llama, Mistral, Gemma2), and start the Ollama server. The application then connects to this local server via HTTP, enabling chat functionality directly on the user's device. This architecture ensures data privacy and offline capability.
