Your Local-First AI Platform
Browse, download, and run Hugging Face models — right on your machine.

From model discovery to local inference, HugBrowse handles the entire workflow so you can focus on what matters.
Browse and filter thousands of Hugging Face models by task, library, parameters, and popularity — all from a beautiful native interface.
Auto-detects your GPU, CPU, and RAM, then classifies your hardware tier to recommend models you can actually run.
Pause, resume, and cancel downloads with SHA-256 integrity verification. Never worry about corrupted model files again.
Chat with models running entirely on your hardware. Markdown rendering, streaming responses, and full conversation history.
Real-time CPU, RAM, GPU, and VRAM tracking. Know exactly what your system is doing and how much headroom you have.
PC too weak? Deploy models to HuggingFace Inference Endpoints or connect any OpenAI-compatible API server — VPS, Azure, your own server. Switch backends in one click.
Community-driven plugins, extensions, and model configurations. Extend HugBrowse with one-click installs from the marketplace.
Always on the latest version. HugBrowse checks for updates automatically and installs them seamlessly — no manual downloads needed.
A clean, native desktop experience designed to make AI accessible to everyone.
Three powerful technologies come together to deliver a fast, secure, and beautiful experience.
v2
Lightweight native shell with security-first IPC, auto-updater, system tray, and deep link support. Tiny binary, low memory.
v19
Modern component architecture with TypeScript, TanStack Router, and a responsive design system for the entire UI layer.
Backend
System-level performance for hardware detection, download management, file hashing, and llama-server sidecar orchestration.
HugBrowse uses a sidecar architecture — the Rust backend handles system operations while llama-server runs as an independent process for GPU-accelerated inference with CUDA, Metal, and Vulkan support. No data ever leaves your machine.
Download HugBrowse and start exploring thousands of models — run locally or offload to the cloud. Auto-updates keep you current.
