ChatOSS

ChatOSS is a native desktop workspace that enables agentic coding by running AI agents alongside developers. Agents can operate directly inside repositories to write code, while an integrated Kanban board lets teams plan, track, and ship work. The app aggregates open-source models (Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM, Minimax, Gemma, NVIDIA Nemotron and more) and supports running models locally via Ollama for free or using cloud-hosted models for scale.

The desktop app for Ollama. Chat, code, and plan with your local models — and scale to faster cloud models when you need them. Free local use, no account required.
