two step setup

  1. Install Amallo

    It lives in the menu bar or tray and finds Ollama on localhost:11434.

  2. Point your client at the endpoint

    Amallo hands you a base URL and a key: the OpenAI-compatible API is on out of the box. Paste them into whatever speaks it: Cursor, Aider, a script, a compose file.

works with what you already use

The OpenAI-compatible API gives you a base URL and a key; any client that speaks it accepts them unchanged. A few people actually point at it:

frequently asked questions

Do I need a static IP or an open port?

No. Amallo makes one outbound connection and keeps it open, so nothing on your router changes.

What does it cost to run?

Your computer does the work, so there is nothing to pay per message.

Isn't this just ngrok or a Cloudflare Tunnel?

Same shape (expose a local port through a public relay), but scoped to Ollama rather than configured per tunnel. Amallo dials out on its own and hands you a ready OpenAI base URL, so there is no tunnel URL to protect and no account to wire up.

Can I host Relay myself?

Yes. That is the intended setup for anyone who would rather not trust ours. The source is on GitHub, it builds to a single Go binary, and every release ships a container image; point Amallo at your own hostname.

Which clients work?

Anything that speaks the OpenAI API, unchanged: editors, agents, CLI tools, your own scripts. A few examples ↓

Your own Ollama, reachable from anywhere, safely.
