As a recent convert the localized models and Ollama I must say I’m a believer. Frankly, I’m probably lucky to have started now because the selection of models that can run in my Mac mini is impressive—already finding quality that matches or surpasses my personal Gemini 2.5 pro and pro research — which has been the best so far. Now I’m running local for free and with Reins I can extend this newfound freedom and security to have a pretty seamless experience from clouds to home. Thank you. You are honored for making this and giving it away

I’m not sure if i’ve ever written a review but I want to here. It’s a very professional looking app that gives me a solution i’ve been looking for for awhile - using my locally hosted AI in a package similar to the chatgpt app. My only complaint is that when it’s writing the response, the screen sort of jitters up and down if you try and scroll up to read while it’s still going. That is the only issue I’ve had. Bravo!

It’s really good so far, fast once you have a good Ollama setup and love having an app finally. Needs a more work with features like being able to delete chats once done, if you have multiple models being able to make one a default and possibly even adding your own cloud name like what OpenWebui allows. Hopefully it gets there but for now it’s a solid app.

I’ve been looking for an elegant way to remotely access my Mac’s Ollama models via Tailscale. Reins is definitely the best fit so far! My one big wish is to have the LLM output be in dynamically resizable text - or at least have there be an option to set text size within the app itself. My eyes aren’t as sharp as they used to be!
