Beyond Ollama

A Windows desktop AI application built on a heavily customised open source model engine. We added file access, tools, MCP connections, guardrails and hooks, so the model can do work on your machine instead of only talking about it.

Requirements

• Windows 11
• x64

Installing

See Installing a Beyond application for what the installer writes and where. Verify your download first, because it takes one command.

Features

Tools, not just conversation

File access, an MCP tool ecosystem, harnesses, guardrails and hooks. The model can act on your machine, inside limits you set.

Find and download models in the app

Search online, including Hugging Face, pick the model you want, and download it from inside the application. No hunting and no placing files by hand.

Bring a frontier model too

Add an API key in settings and route to a hosted frontier model through the same application, alongside everything running locally.

The engine under the rest

Much of the catalogue is built on this. It is the foundation piece, and it improves whenever anything above it does.

Known limits

• In active build.

Licensing

Beyond Ollama uses the standard Beyond licence, with offline verification and self managed seats. See Licences and activation.
