About the project

Jan is an open-source desktop app that runs LLMs locally on your computer, offering a private, offline alternative to ChatGPT with optional cloud model connections.

Useful for
  • Run local LLMs like Llama or Qwen offline for private chat without sending data to the cloud.
  • Connect to OpenAI or Anthropic models through the app when local hardware is insufficient.
  • Expose a local OpenAI-compatible API on localhost:1337 for other applications to use.

2.0 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 30, 2026, 12:29 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-30 (UTC), 10:49–12:23: 45163 → 45167 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
