Description
ModelHub is a native macOS menu bar app for developers working with local LLMs. It helps you discover models from Hugging Face, download the right local build, manage your model library, and use Hugging Face models with Ollama, MLX, LM Studio, llama.cpp, and the tools you already have without bouncing between browser tabs, terminal commands, model cards, and local folders. Ollama, MLX, and LM Studio are great tools. ModelHub is the missing discovery and management layer around them.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a native macOS menu bar wrapper around Hugging Face's API and local CLI runners (Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio), which can be quickly built using Swift/SwiftUI or Electron.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
