Frequent crashes

Do not download. This it a useless app. Can’t even communicate without crash every few secs. Waste of time

Great Start

Friendly ollama client. Clearly early days but heading in the right direction. Would love to see some enhancements like renaming chats. Addition of folders or projects. Configuration of model parameters.
