alt Hacker NewsThank you! Would love to hear which ones you've used. Working with local files without anything going to the cloud was the main thing I wanted. I tried Jan, OpenWork, Chatbox and Lobe, and couldn't get that working well in any of them. If there's one I missed it would be great to check it out!!

I am using Hermes and I did not try charts, but the rest it can do with ease. And I use DeepSeek flash API as a driver most of the time.

In PasClaw, I specifically built it to do local embedding and other local only functionality. Whether it works well or not yet is another story.

Definitely check out Osaurus for macOS and Windows. Heavily privacy focused with e2ee iOS and iPadOS tethers.

Orca works great.
Have you tried Open WebUI? It doesn't determine which model works best for your hardware, but it otherwise has a very large feature set with a large community, and runs offline by default. Geared more for technical users, however.
