Raycast Ollama
An open-source Raycast extension for local LLM chat and writing on macOS and Windows. Connects to local or remote Ollama servers under the MIT license.
Raycast Ollama brings Ollama models into Raycast on macOS and Windows, for people who want AI chat and text assistance within their desktop launcher. It connects to Ollama on your own machine or a remote server you choose. The extension is open source under the MIT license, and local inference doesn't require an Ollama API key.
Saved conversations support multiple turns, with separate model choices for chat, image understanding and tool use. You can bring selected text or clipboard content into a conversation, or add the current browser tab through the Raycast browser extension. Vision-capable models can describe JPEG and PNG images and extract their text.
The focused commands cover grammar fixes, rewriting, translation, website summaries and code explanations. A single response can become an ongoing chat. Custom commands pair your own prompts with a chosen model and can include text selections, browser content or images.
Model management sits in Raycast too: you can download, update and delete models, inspect their capabilities, and load or unload them from memory. One list collects models across your configured Ollama servers.
For tasks that need external tools, chat supports MCP tools when the selected model supports tool calling. Optional web search and web fetch use Ollama's hosted services and require an Ollama account API key; the extension also exposes those tools to Raycast AI. Local model requests go to your local Ollama instance, while remote inference sends them to the selected server.
