Ollama's new app

Ollama released a new app for macOS and Windows on July 30, 2025, which the company describes as an easier way to chat with models. The macOS and Windows apps now include a way to download and chat with models.

The app supports file drag and drop, which Ollama says makes it easier to reason with text or PDFs. For processing large documents, Ollama's context length can be increased in the settings; Ollama notes this will require more memory.

Building on what Ollama calls its new multimodal engine, images can be sent to models that support them, such as Google DeepMind's Gemma 3 model. Code files can also be processed by models for understanding, a capability Ollama lists under documentation writing.

Ollama directs users to download the new app on macOS and Windows. For pure CLI versions of Ollama, standalone downloads are available on Ollama's GitHub releases page.
