Local-first desktop AI workspace for Windows running Ollama models with no cloud

Desktopfreeglobal

Cortex is a local-first AI workspace for Windows that runs models entirely on the machine via Ollama or a local .gguf file, keeping all conversations and memory in local storage with no cloud processing or data leaving the device. It includes a built-in micro harness for safe local code execution and a minimal chat interface showing token counts and speed per response.
