CloudToLocalLLM

Run powerful LLMs locally with an optional cloud relay – privacy-first, cross‑platform, and in active development.

Status: Heavy development/early access. Premium cloud features are planned and not yet available.

Who this is for

• Individuals who want to run LLMs locally for free (self-install).
• Businesses that want to self-host; commercial use requires a paid license.
• Users who may later opt into cloud relay/premium features (separate from self-install).

What you get (today)

• Local AI control: Connect to your own Ollama models; keep data on your machine.
• Optional cloud path: Cloud relay planned; premium features will be separate from self-install.
• Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, and web today; macOS in progress.
• Privacy-first: Local by default; cloud usage is opt-in.
• Modern UI: Tray integration on desktop, streaming chat experience, and responsive web experience.

Licensing & plans

• Self-install: Free for personal use. Business use requires a paid license.
• Cloud premium: Separate from self-install; planned but not yet live.
• Business inquiries: Use GitHub Issues/Discussions to reach out about licensing while we finalize premium options.

How it works

• Local path (default): The desktop/web app talks to your local Ollama at http://localhost:11434 (configurable). Data stays on your device.
• Cloud path (planned): When enabled, you’ll be able to sign in and route through our cloud relay for remote access and premium features. This is separate from the self-install license.

Requirements

• Ollama installed and at least one model pulled (e.g., ollama pull llama3.2).
• OS: Windows or Linux today; macOS support is in progress.
• Network: Needed for downloads/sign-in/cloud relay; local-only use can stay offline after setup.

Quick start (local mode)

1. Download the latest release for your platform: GitHub Releases.
2. Install Ollama and pull a model (e.g., ollama pull llama3.2).
3. Launch CloudToLocalLLM.
4. Point the app to your local Ollama instance (defaults: http://localhost:11434).
5. Use it locally without cloud. Optional: sign in when cloud relay/premium goes live; stay local-only if you prefer.

Platform-specific install steps and troubleshooting: docs/INSTALLATION/README.md (Windows/Linux today; macOS coming soon).

Cloud & premium (separate from self-install)

• Cloud relay and premium features are planned but not yet available.
• When live, business users will need a paid plan; personal self-install remains free.

Privacy & data

• Local by default: requests to your local Ollama stay on your device.
• Cloud use (when enabled) may send data through our API endpoints.
• Auth uses Supabase; error reporting uses Sentry by default. You can disable/override these in settings/config if you prefer local-only.
• Running offline keeps traffic local; if you’re online and want zero telemetry, turn off Sentry/analytics in settings or via config before running.

Support & docs

• User guides and troubleshooting: docs/USER_DOCUMENTATION/
• Install help: docs/INSTALLATION/
• Issues & questions: open a GitHub Issue or Discussion on the repo.
