About ChatOSS
The desktop app for Ollama. Chat, code, and plan with your local models, and scale to faster cloud models when you need them. Free local use, no account required. ChatOSS is a native desktop workspace where AI agents do real work alongside you. They write code in your repos, plan and track tasks on an integrated Kanban board, and ship. It's more than chat, a suite of apps you can extend, running on Ollama or the cloud.
About Punchy
Simple time tracking for the people who help out at home: a kiosk, two buttons, and an honest record of the hours. Adults only. U.S. only. The kiosk is a screen at your home, not an app on anyone's phone. On your own computer or phone: add the adults whose hours you want to track (a house cleaner, gardener, dog walker, tutor, or caregiver) and give each one a personal PIN. Open your private kiosk link on a spare tablet or old phone and leave it somewhere your people can reach.
