# End User Software Reviews

This category covers the software that runs on the machines in our End User reviews, with the current focus on local LLM tools: desktop apps and runtimes such as Jan, LM Studio, and Ollama that download an open-weight model and serve it from a laptop or workstation GPU. Each hands-on installs the tool from scratch on lab hardware, works through model download, GPU offload, and the settings that matter, and measures decode throughput so results can be compared across tools on the same system. The category also holds the drive utilities and homelab guides we have published over the years, from Samsung Magician and the Solidigm Synergy toolkit to Proxmox and pfSense builds.

If you are choosing a tool, start with our [Best Local LLM Tools leaderboard](https://www.storagereview.com/best/local-llm-tools), which ranks runtimes, desktop apps, and agent frameworks and links each hands-on guide as it publishes. For the hardware side, the [Best Laptops for Local AI](https://www.storagereview.com/best/laptops-local-ai) and [Best Desktops for Local AI](https://www.storagereview.com/best/desktops-local-ai) pages rank systems on measured model performance, and our [agentic AI hardware sizing guide](https://www.storagereview.com/best/agentic-ai-hardware) covers how much VRAM, RAM, and storage a given model needs before you buy.

by Lyle Smith on October 28, 2026

Ollama 0.40.11 gives Windows users a desktop chat application and a local model runtime for other software. Ollama has also moved beyond its original command-line interface, adding a searchable model selector, image attachments, and links to coding tools. Some controls we needed for testing still live in PowerShell and model configuration files. We installed Ollama

Running large language models locally has become much easier over the past couple of years, but a gap remains between downloading a model and having a useful desktop environment for it.
