Show HN: Ivx/AI Chat, AI client that doesn't track you (with a better GUI imo)

Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 7, Utility: 4)

ivx/ai Chat is a privacy-focused AI chat client that runs entirely in the browser and connects directly to user-specified LLM endpoints. Its companion Rust daemon, ivx-bridge, solves the common CORS problem that prevents web apps from reaching local inference servers like Ollama or llama.cpp, with a strict origin allowlist as the security boundary. The project is technically competent and well-documented, but its core functionality largely duplicates existing tools like Open WebUI, LibreChat, and LM Studio.

Target audience: privacy-conscious developers and end users running local or self-hosted LLMs
