Show HN: Dumbar, a not so smart menubar app
I created this to fill a need, accessing those silly LLMs from the menu bar instead of a web browser or command line.
It relies 100% on Ollama, but gives you an easy way to make queries against multiple models, and provides a few sample modelfiles for you.
open source, of course.

- mchiang 3y agoI'll have to download this and try. This is super cool, and thank you for sharing! Ollama does currently support both Apple silicon macs and Intel macs as well.
- jerrysievert 3y agothank you for the correction! I've updated both the readme and the blog post, and uploaded an x64 release as well.
- swyx 3y agoniiice - i also worked on an llm menubar app until i added enough that I found myself using it as a secondary browser https://github.com/smol-ai/GodMode https://github.com/smol-ai/GodMode more approaches the better! i considered adding ollama but no ui and i have a ui centric approach
- darkteflon 3y agoThis is great, thanks! Ollama support would be amazing, especially with the recent integration of codellama and phind-codellama. I’m sure you’re aware, but for the benefit of anyone else: there is a third party Ollama web ui[1] linked to from the ollama project homepage. It’s barebones, but does the trick.

- tanbog5 3y agoOn my device it doesn't seem to detect it's a mobile and flows way off the screen.
- zcbenz 3y agoShameless to insert my app here, also open source and provides quick access from menu bar. https://chie.app/posts/minimalist-approach-to-using-chatgpt/ https://chie.app/posts/minimalist-approach-to-using-chatgpt/

- darkteflon 3y agoThis looks really nice. I couldn't tell from the repo or website whether it supports the ollama api?
- jmorgan 3y agoSuper cool. I just realized who you were from your handle and wanted say that your work on electron over the years has been absolutely amazing. Thank you for all you've done & built.
- stevage 3y agoFor everyone else confused, "menubar" here I think refers to the system menu bar in MacOS.

- KingMob 3y agoHey, you say "you need an Apple Silicon mac. Hey, don't blame me! It's all Ollama runs out at the time of this post", but according to the Ollama PRs/issues, Intel support was added a few weeks ago.
- jerrysievert 3y agooh, that's fantastic! I was going off the website, I can amend the post and I already have an x64 release I can upload to the releases. thanks for the update! edited to add, it's all updated!
