Local LLMs, one click away - right from your Windows system tray.
Llama is a Windows 11 tray app for running llama.cpp models locally. It's a WinUI 3 port of Llama for Mac.
## Install
Grab the latest `.msixbundle` (x64 + ARM64) from Releases and double-click to install.
## Highlights
- Lives in your tray - a borderless, Mica-backed flyout anchored to the tray icon
- Zero-setup llama.cpp - uses your existing `llama.exe`, or downloads one for you
- One-click models - browse and download recommended models from the Hugging Face Hub
- Model details - click any model for a context-length picker with per-option memory estimates (read from the GGUF header), remembered per model, plus chat, copy-model-ID, curl-request, and Hugging Face actions
- Standard storage - models live in the Hugging Face cache, shared with `llama.cpp` and other tools
- Spotlight-like overlay - press `Alt+Space` from any app to chat with your loaded model
