Caverno vs LlamaChat Local

Caverno is a powerful chat client for locally-hosted LLMs. Connect to Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint and start chatting — no cloud required. KEY FEATURES • Any OpenAI-Compatible Server Connect to your own LLM running on localhost or your local network. Supports any endpoint that speaks the OpenAI API format. • Tool Calling (MCP Protocol) Extend your AI with real-time tools — web search, calculator, code execution, and more. Caverno uses the Model Context Protocol to let your LLM take actions. • Session Memory Your assistant remembers your preferences, constraints, and context across conversations. Memory is stored locally and fully under your control. • Voice In & Out Speak your messages and have responses read aloud. Configurable speech rate and auto-read options. • Image Attachments Attach photos from your library to include visual context in your conversations. • Multiple Conversations Create, switch, and manage separate chat threads. All conversations are persisted locally. • Assistant Modes Switch between General and Coding modes for different response styles tailored to your task. • Privacy First No account required. No data sent to third parties. All conversations and memory stay on your device — the only network connection is to the server you configure. GETTING STARTED 1.
