LocalMode UI - Local-First AI Components

LocalMode UI is a shadcn-style registry of copy-owned, composable AI UI primitives for the browser. It serves as the UI layer on top of @localmode/core and the @localmode/react hooks, offering chat surfaces, model-download progress, device-capability gates, and other local-first surfaces that have no off-the-shelf equivalent.

Every component runs entirely in the browser with inference on-device, meaning no servers, no API keys, and data never leaves the user's device. The registry aims to be cloud-compatible by contract, with presentational components that render plain props and can work with any backend when paired with LocalMode hooks or external SDKs.

The registry includes 100+ copy-owned components and 36 installable blocks spanning areas like Chat, Knowledge & RAG, Vision, Audio, and Privacy. They run real models on-device and are designed to be installed and used without server interactions.

Users can install components via the shadcn CLI, use installable blocks to run real models entirely in the browser, and explore a gallery of blocks across multiple categories, including Writing Tools, Text Insights, Agents, Device, Image Studio, and Text.

Use cases

• Local-first UI primitives for browser-based AI interfaces
• On-device inference for privacy-sensitive apps
• Cloud-compatible by contract for backend flexibility
