A native desktop AI workspace — multi-model chat, boardroom consensus, head-to-head evaluation, and live diagnostics — all running locally on your hardware.
OpenMind is a Tauri 2 desktop application that gives you a rich, performant AI interface for locally-hosted models served by Ollama. No cloud dependency, no API keys, no data leaving your machine.
It goes beyond a simple chat window: multiple models can deliberate together in Boardroom mode, compete head-to-head in Dojo mode, and a live Diagnostics dashboard surfaces server health, system telemetry, model inventory, and shell-script integration — all in one native window.
- Streaming token-by-token output with a live cursor
- Full conversation history persisted to
localStorage <think>reasoning blocks rendered as collapsible sections with preview text- Auto-resizing textarea with character ÷ 4 token estimate
- Stop mid-stream without losing partial output
- Accordion dropdown showing all available Ollama models
- Per-model disk size chip pulled from
/api/tags - Drag a model row directly onto the Dojo tab to add it as a contestant
- One-click floating chat window per model — compare responses side-by-side
Six injected agent roles (advocate, critic, analyst, devil's advocate, expert, generalist) deliberate on the same prompt simultaneously, then a configurable synthesizer model produces a structured consensus report.
- 4 preset boards: Classic Triad, Devil's Court, Full Board, Peer Review
- 5 built-in debate / analysis prompt presets
- All advisor streams run in parallel — no waiting for turn-taking
- Re-synthesize with a different model without re-querying advisors
- Stop All aborts every stream simultaneously
An evaluation harness where N models compete on the same prompt, judged by a configurable model on user-selected rubric criteria.
- Rubric: accuracy, conciseness, reasoning, code correctness (toggle per criterion)
- Blind mode hides model names from the judge to eliminate name bias
- Running scoreboard with cumulative wins + average score, persisted across sessions
- 5 built-in test prompts (code challenge, logic puzzle, concept explanation, debug challenge, debate)
- Auto-fit grid layout — panels resize as models are added / removed
- Live CPU usage bar with colour-coded thresholds (green → amber → red)
- Network receive / transmit rates from the Rust
sysinfobackend - Endpoint tester: probe

- Running models list with VRAM usage from

- Pulsing pill in the header: green ring (online), spinning ring (checking), solid red (offline)
- Latency badge updated every 15 s

| Pattern | Where used |
|---|---|
useRef accumulator + functional setState |
Streaming fan-out in Boardroom and Dojo — avoids stale closures |
Module-level let _persistedLog |
DiagnosticsPage log survives React remount (tab switch) |
AbortController per stream |
Every stream independently stoppable; stopAll() aborts the entire set |
CSS custom property --tab-color / --role-color |
NavBar tabs and BoardroomPage agent panels take per-entity colour from data |
localStorage persistence |
Chat history · selected model · Dojo scoreboard |
Drag-and-drop via HTML5 dataTransfer |
Model rows → Dojo tab; carries model name string |

# LAN discovery, connectivity verification, curl command map
./diagnostics/curlllama.sh
# Write available Ollama models to OpenCode config
./diagnostics/sync-ollama-models.shEdit src/lib/opencode-client.ts → defaultConfig:
export const defaultConfig = {
ollamaUrl: 'http://10.0.0.155:18080', // change to your Ollama host
model: 'qwen3-coder:30b', // default model
};A settings panel (edit URL/port without touching source) is on the roadmap.
See docs/ROADMAP.md for the full planned feature list.
Selected upcoming items:
- Settings modal — configure Ollama URL + port in-app
- Message editing and response regeneration
- Multiple named conversation sessions
- In-app model browser and pull / delete
-
flexlayout-reactmulti-panel workspace - Slash commands —
/model,/boardroom,/dojo,/clear,/export - N-way Dojo tournament bracket with round-robin view
- Boardroom vote display — which advisors agreed / diverged
