About:
LlamaBarn is a macOS menu bar application that provides a convenient interface for running and managing local Large Language Models (LLMs) like those based on the GGML library. It allows users to quickly access AI capabilities directly from their desktop without relying on cloud services, prioritizing privacy and offline functionality.
Key Features:
  • Runs local LLMs from the macOS menu bar
  • Integrates with GGML-based model formats
  • Provides offline, private AI inference
  • Lightweight and always-accessible interface
  • Simplifies local model management and interaction
Use Cases:
  • Quickly querying a local LLM for coding or writing tasks without internet
  • Experimenting with AI models privately and without API costs
  • Having persistent, low-overhead AI assistance available while working in other apps
Alternatives:
  • Ollama – Command-line focused tool for running local LLMs, lacks a dedicated menu bar interface
  • MacGPT – Menu bar app primarily for accessing cloud-based ChatGPT, not for running local models
