About

EWACS Chat — v1.0.0

Run open models on your own machine. EWACS Chat is a desktop app that downloads commercial-use-licensed models from the EWACS marketplace and lets you chat with them locally — your hardware, your data. It speaks the Ollama and OpenAI APIs under the hood.

Downloads

Platform File Notes
Windows (10/11, 64-bit) ewacs-chat-1.0.0-windows-x86_64.exe Double-click to run. No installer needed.
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, amd64) ewacs-chat_1.0.0_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./ewacs-chat_1.0.0_amd64.deb

Each download has a matching .sha256 checksum file.

Get started in 3 steps

  1. Sign in for a token. Go to https://ewacs.com/login and sign in with Google. Copy the token it gives you.
  2. Add the token. Open EWACS Chat, click ⚙ Settings, paste the token, and Save (it's remembered next time).
  3. Pick a model & chat. In the MODELS panel on the right, click a model (e.g. qwen2.5:0.5b) to download and load it — then type and chat.

That's it. The app pulls the model the first time and caches it locally for next time.

Features

  • Local inference — models run on your CPU/GPU via llama.cpp; nothing leaves your machine.
  • Marketplace catalog — browse and filter models; every one is licensed for commercial use.
  • Conversation history — past chats are saved (each remembers the model it used); start new ones any time.
  • Stop & retry — interrupt a response mid-stream, or regenerate the last answer.
  • Ollama / OpenAI compatible — point existing tooling at the same local endpoints.

Install details

Windows

Just run the .exe. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first launch (the build isn't yet code-signed) — choose More info → Run anyway. Your token and models are stored under %LOCALAPPDATA%\ewacs.

Linux (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt install ./ewacs-chat_1.0.0_amd64.deb

This installs ewacs-chat to /usr/bin and adds an EWACS Chat entry to your application menu. Dependencies (graphics/TLS libraries) are pulled in automatically by apt. Your token and models are stored under ~/.local/share/ewacs (or $XDG_DATA_HOME).

To remove: sudo apt remove ewacs-chat.

Requirements

  • 64-bit Windows 10/11, or a recent Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux (amd64).
  • ~1–2 GB free disk for a small model; more for larger ones.
  • An internet connection to sign in and to download models the first time.

Support

  • Marketplace & account: https://ewacs.com
  • Sign in / tokens: https://ewacs.com/login
  • Model catalog: https://ewacs.com/models
