Linux Mint Local LLM Applet

The project includes:

I wanted to build this to solve “small questions” that come up during my day. I didn’t want to go to a browser and break my flow, so I created this applet for Linux Mint where a local LLM chat interface can be opened for simple questions and one off conversations. It also has a localhost web version as well with chat history.
Chat with your local AI right from your Linux Mint panel thanks to a sleek, lightweight applet that pops up a friendly chat window using Ollama's models — no heavy installs, just pure speedy AI fun at your fingertips!
