Introducing Snip UI: Open-Source Web Interface for Local LLMs

I'm excited to share Snip UI with you – a project I've built to make interacting with locally hosted Large Language Models as seamless as using ChatGPT. It's an open-source chat app that brings professional-grade features while keeping your data completely private and secure.

What Makes Snip Special:

Snip is designed with privacy-first architecture - all processing happens locally on your machine, giving you complete control over your AI interactions.

Why I Built Snip UI

I wanted to create a solution that bridges the gap between powerful local LLMs and everyday users. Whether you're running models through LM Studio or other local setups, Snip UI provides the polished, intuitive interface you deserve.
