An unofficial, open-source app for browsing, downloading and managing the Hub — fast, local, private.
Apache-2.0 · macOS / Windows / Linux · No telemetry · English / 中文
Twenty tabs. Endless reloads. A 300 GB cache folder you're afraid to open.
ohmyhf fixes this.
01/Browse
Sidebar, list, and live preview stay put while you switch Models, Datasets, Spaces, and Papers. Long lists stay smooth with virtualization; the right pane renders model cards, file trees, and metadata instantly — no new tabs, no full-page reloads.
02/Command
One palette for search, filters, and sort. Narrow by task, library, license, or parameter count; rank by trending, likes, or downloads. Stay in flow without hunting through menus.
03/Downloads
Queue jobs, run them in parallel, pause and resume, cap speed, and verify sha256 on finish — with system notifications when you're done. Files land in the standard Hugging Face cache layout, so transformers and the CLI just work.
04/Cache
Scan your Hugging Face cache directory, inspect disk use per repo, and clean old revisions in one click. The web can't do this — ohmyhf can save you hundreds of gigabytes in ~/.cache/huggingface.
Roadmap
Subscribe to users, orgs, and repos for updates and Daily Papers — with system notifications when something new lands.
Put 2–4 models side by side: parameters, license, and benchmarks in one glance so you can pick with confidence.
Push GGUF into Ollama or LM Studio, send models to ComfyUI, and run an in-app inference playground — without leaving the desktop.
Principles
