What is it?

Locally Uncensored is a desktop app that bundles chat with local language models, image and video generation, and a coding agent into one window. It is aimed at users who want to run models on their own machine without installing Docker, using a terminal, or setting up configuration files. The app can detect an existing local engine such as Ollama or LM Studio, or install its own LU Engine, and it uses ComfyUI for image and video work, installing and updating it automatically.

The chat tab supports image input, document chat through a local index, voice conversations, memory across conversations, and personas. The Create tab covers text-to-image, editing with masks, background removal, video, LoRA selection and a character trainer. The Code tab provides an agent that shows diffs before applying edits and runs tests, and an agent mode offers web search, file and shell tools, and MCP servers, with each tool call behind a permission gate.

The project also offers optional LU Labs Cloud for larger models that do not fit on a desktop GPU, a Local API that exposes local models through an OpenAI-compatible address, and an Android app. Support for macOS and mobile varies by release, and the README marks some features such as voice and computer control as beta.

Key features

  • 01Chat with local models, with image input, document chat and voice conversations.
  • 02Text-to-image, editing, video generation and LoRA support through an automatically managed ComfyUI.
  • 03Coding agent that previews diffs before applying changes and runs your tests.
  • 04Agent mode with web search, file and shell tools, and custom MCP servers behind a permission gate.
  • 05Local API exposing loaded models on one OpenAI-compatible address.
  • 06Works with existing engines such as Ollama and LM Studio, and needs no Docker.

Use cases

  • Running a private chat assistant on your own PC without sending prompts to a cloud service.
  • Generating images and short videos locally with a graphical interface instead of node graphs.
  • Letting a local coding agent edit a repository while you review each diff.
  • Sharing a home machine's local models with other devices on your network.
