# OllamaChat

A fully offline, cross-platform chat application using **React.js**, **Tauri**, **Rust**, and **SQLite** for the desktop app.  

The app integrates with a locally running Ollama API to retrieve models and generate responses.

Caveat:

The current feature set is rudimentary and only lightly tested.  Expect missing features and some defects.

## Ollama

Download Ollama here: https://ollama.com/

Load an Ollama model like this:

```bash

ollama run llama3.2:1b

```

Make sure Ollama API is running

```bash

ollama serve

```

The rust code is currently hard-coded for port 11434.

## Installation

```bash

git clone https://github.com/Tim-Butterfield/ollama-chat-tauri.git

cd ollama-chat-tauri

cd src/apps/desktop

npm install

npm run tauri

```

## Screenshots

![GUI example](assets/gui_example.png)

The use of the ReactMarkdown component along with the Tailwind CSS typography prose style prettifies the output.

![Model selection](assets/models_selection.png)

The model selection drop-down allows choosing from the currently loaded models.

![New session](assets/new_session.png)

Click the "+" button to start a new chat session.

![Context menu](assets/context_menu.png)

The context menu allows for editing a session title or deleting a chat session you no longer need.
