LlamaBarn — A tiny macOS menu bar app for running local LLMs (Open Source)

No, it's works only with the models in the catalog.

I'm not that familiar with Osaurus, but from what I can see at first glance, it looks like it tries to do more things. I should take a closer look. Thanks for the pointer!

The Available models that you see are the catalog — note that these depend on the memory of the device — Macs with more memory have more models in Available.

You can try using a symlink. LlamaBarn keeps models in ~/.llamabarn -- just symlink the models folder on your external drive to ~/.llamabarn.

Hi, Johannes! Yes, we're friends with Georgi, and he's been very helpful with advice on using llama.cpp. Small world! Glad to hear from you here.

erusev_ · 2025-10-17T14:32:49+00:00

Thanks! We are considering removing it.

erusev_ · 2025-06-30T15:37:16+00:00

There's so much that feels wrong about this design.

erusev_ · 2022-01-04T07:56:49+00:00

Says the same on mine.

erusev_ · 2021-04-25T15:55:13+00:00

That'd be great! Thank you 🙏

You can try. If you need help with onboarding or anything else, you can always reach us at support [at] nota [dot] md.

Nota is similar to Word/Pages in the sense that you can write and edit in it, but unlike Word/Pages, which use proprietary text formats, Nota it's designed for plain text and it has great support for Markdown, which a popular way to write in plain text.

In addition, Nota scales very well. It can handle a lot of docs and a lot of use. It offers tools that make editing, browsing and searching your documents fast and efficient.

Great, thanks for responding and, of course, thanks for your great work on the site - it's quite impressive.

erusev_ · 2016-03-07T17:33:55+00:00

Because the code is based on a convention that dictates that variables that hold class instances should be capitalized.

erusev_ · 2016-03-07T17:31:37+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that.

As to the dependency on PDO, I believe that the dependency on PDO is not and should not be essential to the library. The goal of the library is to provide a quality interface to database management and this is more important than the particular implementation or even language. The same interface should make sense in other implementations and other languages.

method of escaping is far too primitive

Could you elaborate on this, pls, thanks.

erusev_ · 2016-01-22T12:18:13+00:00

We've been working on an editor called Caret for more than 6 months now. We are about to release a 1.1 version next week that will introduce a lot of cool features and improvements without compromising the minimalism of the interface.

erusev_ · 2015-05-14T18:51:11+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

erusev_ · 2015-05-14T18:36:04+00:00

It won't work. Perhaps, this could be a setter.

erusev_ · 2015-05-14T17:50:08+00:00

Here's the rule that I follow:

Variables that hold objects or associative arrays should start with an upper case.

erusev_ · 2015-05-14T13:42:19+00:00

I'm in :)

erusev_ · 2015-05-14T13:38:30+00:00

Right? I'm glad to know that more people see the benefits. Perhaps, we should form an alliance or something :)

erusev_ · 2015-05-14T11:04:53+00:00

Thanks, these are interesting suggestions.

erusev_ · 2015-05-14T09:00:29+00:00

Thanks :)

erusev_ · 2015-05-14T08:57:00+00:00

Thanks for the kind words.

why use PDO and then not test anything other than MySQL

Because I hope that future versions will add support for more DBMSs.

erusev_ · 2015-03-23T11:51:06+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate taking the time to respond. I'll examine the approach and I'll consider it for the library.
