nextjs-ollama-llm-ui

Why we included this project

This one is a lightweight Next.js frontend for people who run Ollama locally and want something nicer than the bare command line for chatting with their models. Everything stays on your machine: conversations live in browser localstorage, so there is no database to stand up and no data leaves your device. Beyond plain chat it also handles model management, letting you pull or delete models and switch between them mid-conversation, and it adds code syntax highlighting with one-click copy buttons plus image input for vision-capable models. The author openly labels it a hobby project and points to Open WebUI for anyone wanting a fuller experience, which is refreshing honesty about the trade-off. If you want a polished, offline-friendly chat client up in minutes via Docker, it punches well above its weight for a small codebase.
