chatd

Why we included this project

For anyone who needs to ask questions of their own documents without sending the contents to a cloud service, chatd is a solid option. It is a desktop app that runs a local language model on your machine and lets you chat with your files, so the data never leaves your computer. The app ships with its own LLM runner based on Ollama, so you can download a single executable and start using it right away, no separate model server setup required. If you already have Ollama running, chatd will use that instance instead, and you can swap in a different model if you want. That makes it a good fit for small teams that want private, local RAG on a few documents without standing up a full retrieval stack.
