Interface and conversations
Each LlamaBoss window is an independent chat workspace, while local-model windows share the application-owned model service instead of loading another copy into VRAM.
Top bar controls
Select a local GGUF or a model supplied by a remote endpoint.
Turns Agent Mode on or off for the current conversation.
Attach project context, open reusable Skills, or manage the current goal.
Optional tokens-used / total display, enabled from Settings.
Conversation sidebar
Open the sidebar to browse saved conversations. It supports:
- Search: filters conversation titles as you type. Press Esc to clear the search.
- Project grouping: conversations attached to a Project appear together, and project groups can be collapsed.
- Multi-select: use Ctrl + click or Shift + click.
- Batch deletion: select one or more rows and press Delete.
- Resizable width: drag the sidebar's right edge.
Multiple chat windows, one local-model service
Select + New Window, press Ctrl + Shift + N, or launch LlamaBoss again while it is already running. The existing process opens another full window.
The windows share the running local server and model service, preventing a second copy of the model from being loaded into VRAM. Conversations, Projects, attachments, Goals, Agent Mode state, and visible UI remain per-window.
When one window is generating through the shared local server, work from another window may queue rather than interrupt the active stream. Remote endpoint models do not load local model weights.
Message composer
- Enter sends.
- Shift + Enter inserts a newline.
- The composer grows up to several visible lines as you type.
- Use the paperclip, drag-and-drop, or paste a clipboard image.
- The Stop control cancels active generation or a pending approval.
Saving and loading
Conversations autosave after meaningful changes. Power-user shortcuts are also available:

|---|---|
| Ctrl+N | Start a new chat in the current window. |
| Ctrl+Shift+N | Open another LlamaBoss window. |
