NotesOllama – I added local LLM support to Apple Notes (through Ollama)2024 · smallest.app · ▲156This lets you talk to local LLMs in Apple Notes.

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it.
