Only for pro

Description says it connects to what ever servers you want and it allows to use.. some how I doesn’t see that it only does that if you subscribe to the pro version. So no you don’t pay fees for the LLM , you just have to pay it to the app instead… don’t see that as a savings

Used to be decent, now charges a subscription (or $100) to use basic model features on local hosts

Thinking and tool use are basic features provided by the already running ollama server. I get gating some features, like search API features, or things that require your custom MCP server, but gating basic model features like thinking, image input support, or simple things like a server list, model parameters, and other things that the users are already getting just by running ollama is just kind of... clownish

i could see paying $10 or so for some of those features. one time. the more premium lifetime access for the search feature and custom tools and whatever also makes sense, but a subscription fee for features that were already freely available before makes me sad. i could just pay $20 for for claude credits to deploy openwebui with a self update script or something and use that in safari at that point 😭

Good and bad

It’s good because it’s like ChatGPT, but it’s bad because when I try to use gemma4:e2b it doesn’t show the reasoning output but now it’s a subscription service the reason I use this is cus not money I need to spend but now

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. As of version 2.0, you can enable Thinking which shows the reasoning output. Please update to the latest version.

Loved it as FOSS, useless now

Paywalling everything after stopping the code releases is the fastest way to lose goodwill. I would have even considered paying pro if the code was still open. I had it on both my Linux workstations and phone. What was one of my preferred apps is now on my uninstall list. with the downgrade to a subscription model, I’ll be on the look for a new app. A shame as it was one of the best LLM client apps.

Great

Simple to use, and works

Local LLM AI

THIS THING WORKS

Good and bad

It’s good because it’s like ChatGPT, but it’s bad because when I try to use gemma4:e2b it doesn’t show the reasoning output

Simple, Direct, Excellent

I really appreciate having a simple app to just plug into a local model im running and prompt it immediately.

.txt file support is the only thing i could ask for to improve it. Otherwise if you're running a model in ollama and sharing to the local network then this is a no-brainer.

Bien pensé

Application bien pensé. Une étoile en moins car tout les paramètres possibles des modèles ne sont pas disponible. Il serait par exemple très intéressant de pouvoir désactiver la phase de Thinking sur certain modèles pour obtenir des réponses plus rapidement.

Advanced technology

We have been utilizing this as both the front end and back in operations in AI and VI operations analytics within our infrastructure we have found that this has been a very exciting platform and tool that allows us to use existing infrastructure resources that are not to the general public, but at the same time balancing out public access in our processes operations in our research. I do recommend that if you’re going to utilize this in an environment that is in a corporate structure or research center that you allow this to run in your infrastructure that has the suitable configuration, including TPU and GPU included in the configuration inside the servers itself and have high speed storage interaction and connection connections that allow the process to collect the information necessary and then provide the most non-biased laboratory information and also will allow your team to create your own models as well. Done our initial research and development. Did this information allowed to be used and collect an invoice information other models within the system, but for security reasons and other aspects of this, we decided to disable dysfunction in our production side of our house however, in the research side on how it’s the best we still have it available but a production and more sensitive stuff because of security and the lack of guardrails and business ethics of those are outside the world of our development in ethics disabled this before it could be also used against us as well, but we get strong. Kudos to this platform and so thankful that it’s available.

THANK YOU!

Great Chat Tool for Ollama

Love the interface. The ability to select a specific model and have access to everything in Ollama is great. I would really like to see the ability to add files to a Chat session other than just images (especially text and PDF files). Hopefully that functionality is coming soon?

This would be a five-star App with additional file support in the chat interface.

good app!!!

"I've recently been using some really great apps, but this one stands out as the most useful and enjoyable. I highly recommend it to everyone!"

不支持联网模式吗

Awesome app! Lacking a few things

Would LOVE to see MCP integrated!

iOS17で動く唯一のollamaクライアントかも

殆どのクライアントがiOS18以降でしか動かない昨今、このアプリを試してみたところあっけなくホスト上のollamaサーバに接続できました。
殆どローカルマシンのuiと変わらない雰囲気で使えます。
ただ最近のollamaの売りのweb search apiには対応していないようで、これさえ出来れば完璧かと思います。

great ollama client

it can’t run an ollama server on its own which is expected but it has an excellent, clean interface for connecting to and running ai on a server of your own. i thought i would have trouble finding an app like this for ios but this is great

Gut, aber...

Viele aus OpenWebUI gewohnte Parameter sind in Reins nicht verfügbar, darunter extrem wichtige wie Websearch oder der THINK-Parameter, mit dem sich langes Nachdenken in OpenWebUI desktivieren lässt. Websearch MUSS ebenfalls integriert werden, was nutzt ein Model ohne Internet?
Hier gibt es noch ordentlich Nachholbedarf. Grundsätzlich funktioniert die App, fühlt sich durch die fehlenden Basisfunktionen aber an wie eine App mit den Möglichkeuten von 2023.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback. As of version 2.0, you can enable Thinking and Tools. Reins now includes built-in web search which doesn’t require any API key to use. Please update to the latest version.

Très bon interfaces pour Ollame

Super application qui permet d’interagir très facilement avec son ollama.
J’adore cette app.
Seul bémol sur le fonctionnement c’est que la connexion au llm ne se maintient pas en arrière plan. Pas pratique quand les réponse sont un peu longue à arriver.
Il serai aussi très interessant de pouvoir interagir avec la configuration du serveur pour télécharger ou supprimer des modèles par exemple.
