Hob
Free, open-source (MIT) desktop app from Frigade for Mac, Windows and Linux that works on your files like the Claude and ChatGPT apps, but runs open-weight models (Gemma 4, gpt-oss) on your own computer via llama.cpp: picks a model for your hardware, writes sandboxed Python for ad hoc tools, reads images and PDFs, adds MCP connectors and works fully offline.
