Draggy
Getting started
Installation
What you need, getting past the first-run warning, and how updates arrive.
What you need
Ollama, installed and running. Draggy offers to install it if it cannot find it. A graphics card is not required, but it decides how fast answers arrive.
- Windows 10 64-bit (1809+), macOS 11, or 64-bit Linux with glibc 2.28+
- 8 GB memory, 16 GB comfortably
- 10 GB free disk for a typical model
Installing
Take the installer from the download page and run it. Nothing is code signed, so each system complains once:
| System | What to do |
|---|---|
| Windows | SmartScreen stops it. More info, then Run anyway. |
| macOS | xattr -cr /Applications/Draggy.app after dragging it in. |
| Linux | chmod +x the AppImage, or install the .deb as usual. |
Every release publishes a SHA-512, if you would rather check than trust.
The first launch
Draggy looks for Ollama, measures your graphics card, and offers a model that fits. That download is several gigabytes and only happens once.
Updates
With Automatic updates on, it checks twenty seconds after
launch and every six hours, downloads in the background, and installs on the
next launch. Settings → Updates holds the switch, an
Update channel, and buttons to check or install by hand.
macOS builds are unsigned and cannot update themselves. Running from source, updates are disabled, which is correct.
