## About

Thuki is a floating overlay that appears on double-tap Control from any macOS app, including fullscreen. Powered by Ollama, no API key, no account, no cloud.

The idea was simple: I wanted to ask an AI a quick question without switching apps, without paying for another subscription, and without my conversations ending up on someone's server. Nothing out there really fit that, so I built it.

Outstanding feature: - Double-tap Control for Thuki overlay on top of any apps (including fullscreened) - Agentic web search via a local SearXNG + Trafilatura pipeline with live trace streaming; - /think command for chain-of-thought reasoning; - an in-app model picker to switch between any local models via Ollama - cross-model history sanitization for mid-session model switches. - fully local, free, & open source

MIT, macOS only, Tauri + Rust + React.
