LLM Developer Tools

ModelHub is a native macOS menu bar app for developers working with local LLMs. It helps you discover models from Hugging Face, download the right local build, manage your model library, and use Hugging Face models with Ollama, MLX, LM Studio, llama.cpp, and the tools you already have without bouncing between browser tabs, terminal commands, model cards, and local folders. Ollama, MLX, and LM Studio are great tools. ModelHub is the missing discovery and management layer around them.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built ModelHub because local AI on Mac is getting good fast but the workflow around models still feels scattered. Ollama makes running local models simple. MLX makes Apple Silicon a stronger platform for inference. LM Studio gives people a great local model workspace. Hugging Face has the model ecosystem. But as developers, we kept running into the same problem: Finding the right model, checking the right format, downloading it, remembering what was installed, switching between Ollama, MLX, LM Studio, Hugging Face, and local folders, and keeping everything organized still involved too many tabs, terminal commands, and disconnected tools. So we built ModelHub: a native macOS menu bar app for discovering, downloading, and managing local LLMs from Hugging Face, then using them with Ollama, MLX, LM Studio, llama.cpp, and the tools you already use. It is not trying to replace Ollama, MLX, LM Studio, or llama.cpp. It is meant to sit beside them. Think of it as the missing model manager for your local AI setup. We’d love feedback from: - Developers running models locally on Mac - Ollama users - LM Studio users - MLX / Apple Silicon builders - People testing coding models locally - Anyone who has too many model files sitting in random folders Specific feedback we’re looking for: 1. What model metadata matters most before downloading? 2. Should we prioritize Ollama, MLX, LM Studio, or all workflows equally? 3. What would make this useful enough to keep in your menu bar app every day? Thanks for checking it out. We’ll be in the comments all day.

I have lmstudio already and Unsloth and would like to share models across. What does this do then? Does this solve for what I am looking for?

@lakshminath_dondeti If you already use LM Studio and Unsloth, ModelHub is not meant to replace them.

The idea is to make the model layer easier to manage across tools.

So instead of models being scattered across LM Studio, Hugging Face cache, manual folders, and different runtime formats, ModelHub helps you discover, download, and manage models in one place while keeping them usable with tools like LM Studio, Ollama, MLX, llama.cpp, etc.

Curious: what are you trying to solve right now?
