Side Eye

Side Eye adds a local-first AI chat panel beside the tab you're browsing. Chat on-device with Gemma 4 via LiteRT-LM (default) — no local server or cloud account required. Or connect LM Studio or Ollama on your machine for larger models, vision, and MCP tools. Stream markdown replies, use multiple chat tabs, and optionally include page context (URL, selection, readable excerpt) when you ask about the current page.
