Enchanted is a native Apple-ecosystem chat client that talks to a private Ollama server you run yourself, for models such as Llama and Mistral. Setup requires the user to run their own Ollama server and specify that server endpoint in app settings, so no vendor account or pooled key is involved and no conversation data leaves infrastructure you control. Apache-2.0 licensed, free on the App Store, with around 6,000 stars and active maintenance.
