Frequently Asked Questions:

1. I am getting a Server is unreachable error

• You need to download and install https://Ollama.ai and it must be running in the background for this interface to work.

2. How to change the target IP and port?

• You can modify the IP address and port in the settings. Ollama SwiftUI > Preferences

3. I am getting "Cannot Be Opened Because the Developer Cannot be Verified" error when trying to open the app

• To fix this go to your macos System Settings > Privacy and Security > Allow Applications downloaded from > App Store and Identified Developer and you will find a button saying Open Anyway
• This is completely normal. Open source applications are often not submitted to Apple for code review. You can read more about it here. This does not mean that the application is not safe. In fact, this is the beauty of open source. You can verify it yourself.
