I made Chatlite after trying Ollama frontends that felt web-heavy or too complex for basic chat.

I wanted something simple with a small memory footprint for one core use case: talking to models.

Current highlights: - under 5 MB app size - low memory footprint - native desktop app via Tauri - local encrypted chats + password lock - keyboard-first UX

Repo + latest release: https://github.com/that-one-arab/Chatlite/releases/latest

I’d love feedback, especially on missing features for local LLM workflows.
