notesollama

Why we included this project

NotesOllama is a small macOS utility for people who want local, private AI help without leaving Apple Notes. It plugs into Ollama running on your own machine and gives you a magic-wand menu inside Notes to call up a local model, so your note text stays on your machine instead of going to a cloud service. The app is built with SwiftUI and reaches into Notes through macOS's accessibility API, which keeps it a lightweight companion rather than a heavyweight editor. One caveat worth knowing: the author has marked the repository as no longer maintained and ships it as-is, so expect to build it in Xcode or use the provided binary, and treat it as a working reference rather than an actively supported product. For anyone curious about wiring a native macOS app to a local LLM backend, the code is compact and readable enough to learn from.
