Arqade
GitHub

Open source · MIT · runs 100% on your machine

Find, inspect and chat with every local AI model.

Arqade scans your drives for GGUF, SafeTensors, PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX and Ollama models, then lets you chat with them under a custom system prompt and a real prompt authority hierarchy.

🔍 Model scanner

Quick, home-folder or whole-drive scans. Understands Hugging Face caches, Ollama, LM Studio, sharded weights and TF SavedModels. Read-only — pickle files are listed, never loaded.

🧠 PyTorch + TensorFlow + more

Transformers, JAX, ONNX Runtime, llama.cpp, scikit-learn, XGBoost, LangChain, LlamaIndex and ~70 more, installed per-package so one failure never blocks the rest.

🛡 Prompt authority hierarchy

Stack Root → Developer → Operator → User layers. Lock layers, mark content as untrusted data, pick a conflict policy, and see the compiled prompt live.

🌗 Dark first, extension-aware

Dark by default, light on request. If Dark Reader, Night Eye & friends are active, Arqade switches to its light base so they don't double-invert.
