I liked it, it works well and the price is reasonable. If there was a Windows app I would consider it. Thank you for the hard work.

This app used to be fun, but now they’ve locked out basic functionality behind a subscription, even for running models on my own hardware. The whole point of edge/local AI is to avoid subscription lock-in, they’ve completely lost the thread here. Straight into the bin.

Description says it connects to what ever servers you want and it allows to use.. some how I doesn’t see that it only does that if you subscribe to the pro version. So no you don’t pay fees for the LLM , you just have to pay it to the app instead… don’t see that as a savings

Thinking and tool use are basic features provided by the already running ollama server. I get gating some features, like search API features, or things that require your custom MCP server, but gating basic model features like thinking, image input support, or simple things like a server list, model parameters, and other things that the users are already getting just by running ollama is just kind of... clownish i could see paying $10 or so for some of those features. one time. the more premium lifetime access for the search feature and custom tools and whatever also makes sense, but a subscription fee for features that were already freely available before makes me sad. i could just pay $20 for for claude credits to deploy openwebui with a self update script or something and use that in safari at that point 😭

When I first got the app it seemed to have decent functionality but now every basic feature is behind a subscription wall. Use something else.

Tool calls do not work

Paywalling everything after stopping the code releases is the fastest way to lose goodwill. I would have even considered paying pro if the code was still open. I had it on both my Linux workstations and phone. What was one of my preferred apps is now on my uninstall list. with the downgrade to a subscription model, I’ll be on the look for a new app. A shame as it was one of the best LLM client apps.

THIS THING WORKS

I really appreciate having a simple app to just plug into a local model im running and prompt it immediately. .txt file support is the only thing i could ask for to improve it. Otherwise if you're running a model in ollama and sharing to the local network then this is a no-brainer.

We have been utilizing this as both the front end and back in operations in AI and VI operations analytics within our infrastructure we have found that this has been a very exciting platform and tool that allows us to use existing infrastructure resources that are not to the general public, but at the same time balancing out public access in our processes operations in our research. I do recommend that if you’re going to utilize this in an environment that is in a corporate structure or research center that you allow this to run in your infrastructure that has the suitable configuration, including TPU and GPU included in the configuration inside the servers itself and have high speed storage interaction and connection connections that allow the process to collect the information necessary and then provide the most non-biased laboratory information and also will allow your team to create your own models as well. Done our initial research and development. Did this information allowed to be used and collect an invoice information other models within the system, but for security reasons and other aspects of this, we decided to disable dysfunction in our production side of our house however, in the research side on how it’s the best we still have it available but a production and more sensitive stuff because of security and the lack of guardrails and business ethics of those are outside the world of our development in ethics disabled this before it could be also used against us as well, but we get strong. Kudos to this platform and so thankful that it’s available.
