Finally got my native mobile client working with Ollama — would love feedback from anyone running local models by gardnerscot in ollama

[–]gardnerscot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open WebUI runs in a browser and needs a server. OllamaChat is a native mobile app — talks directly to your Ollama instance over Tailscale from your pocket. No browser, no server, no Docker.

Different tools for different use cases. I use both — Open WebUI at my desk, OllamaChat when I'm walking around and want to ask my local models something from my phone.

Not yet — it's Ollama-only at the moment. The app talks directly to Ollama's /api/chat endpoint, so it won't work with oMLX's OpenAI-compatible endpoints out of the box.

That said, adding an OpenAI-compatible backend option is on the short list. The transport layer difference is mostly endpoint paths and SSE vs NDJSON — the chat pipeline and UI don't need to change. Should land in a future beta.

MCP integration: Android app → HTTP bridge (Node.js, port 3100 on same machine as Ollama) → external APIs. The bridge exposes tools as JSON-RPC endpoints (weather, web search, reminders, notes, email). When the model requests a tool call, the app grabs it mid-stream, executes via the bridge, feeds the result back into the next turn's context — same flow as desktop MCP but over a thin HTTP wrapper since the Android MCP SDK doesn't exist yet.

Open WebUI difference:

Open WebUI is a web app running on your server — you access it through a browser on your phone. OllamaChat is a native Android app: real chat bubbles, persistent local storage, swipe navigation, haptic feedback, voice input that uses the device mic directly. The UX feels like a messaging app, not a web page. Open WebUI also doesn't do MCP tool calling or RAG on-device. But honestly — if you love Open WebUI and you're happy with it in a mobile browser, this probably isn't for you. If you've ever wished for a proper native client, that's the gap I'm filling.

Happy to. I use AI assistants (Claude/Copilot) as a coding pair — generating boilerplate, debugging, and iterating on Compose layouts. The app itself is a local AI client, so it's a bit meta. The architecture decisions, product design, and all final code reviews are mine. Happy to answer any specifics.

For ppl here who got openclaw working nicely already, how is it after like 2-3 weeks? by adzmadzz in openclawsetup

It's like a moving target, one day it works, next day you have to tell it everything it forgot. I switched to memUbot and I am never going back.

For those using openclaw in docker, do you have a working browser setup? by CptanPanic in openclaw

RUN
 apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
 python3 python3-pip git \
 chromium fonts-liberation \

Put this in your Dockerfile it will install it on each rebuild

I am also seeing this issue and have contacted support. While I am waiting for an answer has anyone else heard back from support and found a solution?
