Love its performance and does what must do great. Using it to connect to my local Ai server. I would add the ability to create prompts and custom modelfiles to test new models. Perfect!

I’ve been looking for an elegant way to remotely access my Mac’s Ollama models via Tailscale. Reins is definitely the best fit so far! My one big wish is to have the LLM output be in dynamically resizable text - or at least have there be an option to set text size within the app itself. My eyes aren’t as sharp as they used to be!

This is a full-featured and well-performing interface to an Ollama server. It suited my needs perfectly as I already had a local Ollama server configured to use on my LAN. I setup Reins in two minutes and am a satisfied customer. Appreciate the full range of settings available and the chat history.
