Running

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a little tool called MLX Model Manager and thought some of you might find it useful.

What is it?

It's a web-based GUI that makes it easier to discover, download, and run MLX models on your Mac. No terminal commands needed (though you can still use them if you prefer!).

What can you do with it?

• Browse & download models - Search through MLX-optimized models right from the UI, see sizes before downloading, track download progress
• Manage server profiles - Create different configurations (model, port, context length, etc.) and save them for quick access
• Run multiple servers - Start/stop servers with a click, see real-time metrics (memory, CPU, uptime) for each running instance
• Menubar app - Lives in your macOS menu bar for quick access
• Auto-start on login - Set your favorite models to launch automatically when you boot up

How to try it

pip install mlx-manager
mlx-manager serve

Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser. That's it!

Or if you prefer the menubar app:
mlx-manager menubar

This is beta!

I'm releasing v1.0.3 but consider it beta quality. It works well for my workflow but I'm sure there are rough edges I haven't found yet.

If you try it out, I'd love to hear:

• What works well for you
• What's confusing or broken
• What features would make it more useful
