   Save time and deliver projects faster

   We work in an agency that develops websites mainly in WordPress, and regularly based on our experience over several years of working with multiple clients, we have discovered that one of the main problems between agency-client is communication, which often sometimes is tedious and fruitless, but now with the visual debugger is easy to point in the screen what needs to be changed and do it quickly. Also, we had a problem calculating how much our will cost our services for the customers according to the time spent on their projects but now with the "Time tracking" function, we can know exactly how much time was dedicated to the project and based on that invoice the client with greater certainty.

   I think this is a great solution for web designers that needs to clear all visual bugs of a website fast to deliver in less time and get more jobs quickly.

• Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac

  There is also https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-swift-lm which is what https://jan.ai uses. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Best AI Client for Mac (2026): Elvean vs Jan vs Msty vs LM Studio

  Jan is the most polished open-source AI client available. Built with Tauri, it's lighter than Electron apps and has a genuinely clean, minimal design — the kind where you notice the absence of clutter rather than the presence of features. It runs local models through llama.cpp and MLX, has native MCP support, an extension system, and an OpenAI-compatible API server at localhost:1337 so you can point other tools at... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Local LLM Hosting: Complete 2025 Guide - Ollama, vLLM, LocalAI, Jan, LM Studio & More

  Jan takes a different approach, prioritizing user privacy and simplicity over advanced features with a 100% offline design that includes no telemetry and no cloud dependencies. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Jan – Ollama alternative with local UI

  I really like Jan, especially the organization's principles: https://jan.ai/ Main deal breaker for me when I tried it was I couldn't talk to multiple models at once, even if they were remote models on OpenRouter. If I ask a question in one chat, then switch to another chat and ask a question, it will block until the first one is done. Also Tauri apps feel pretty clunky on Linux for me. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Show HN: I built an LLM chat app because we shouldn't need 10 AI subscriptions

  I believe there's a couple of similar apps like https://msty.app and https://jan.ai that do the same and allow you to plug in your own API keys. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
