OllamaFX v0.5.0 adds RAG, chat folders

Open-source desktop client OllamaFX shipped v0.5.0 on March 4, 2026 with file-based RAG workflows, chat folders with drag-and-drop organization, image input support, and chat export improvements. The release positions it as a more practical local-LLM daily driver rather than just a lightweight UI wrapper.

// ANALYSIS

This is a meaningful maturity release for local AI workflows, not just a cosmetic update.

–GitHub release notes confirm core additions like multimodal image support, Markdown viewer/export, and a dedicated RAG implementation.
–Chat folders plus recycle-bin behavior solve a real pain point for long-running local assistant projects.
–Java 17/JavaFX 17 updates and refactors suggest better maintainability for future feature velocity.
–The project remains small but active, with frequent version progression from 0.3.0 to 0.5.0 in recent months.
