I shipped a hotfix. It came with a dashboard.

A developer shipped Flash 0.5.6, a hotfix for broken sub-agents in the web UI of the open-source local AI coding agent that runs on Ollama, and expanded it into a memory-import feature and usage dashboard. The memory import lets users copy a prompt into an AI that already knows them, then paste the returned code block back into Flash, which saves each line verbatim with no model summarizing or inventing facts in between. The dashboard counts usage from chats saved locally on the user's machine.

Flash 0.5.6 was supposed to be a hotfix.

Sub-agents were broken in the web UI. One bug, one fix, done.

Then I kept going.

ChatGPT knows you. Claude knows you. Your local model starts from zero every time.

Not anymore.

Open Settings in Flash Web, click Import memory, and copy one prompt. Paste it into whichever AI already knows you. It answers with everything it remembers, in one code block. Paste that back.

Flash saves it line by line, exactly as written. No model in between to summarize or invent anything, and you see every fact before it lands.

Your model runs on your machine, and now it knows how you like to work.

Settings also has a usage dashboard:

All counted from chats saved on your machine. Nothing leaves it.

TypeError Flash is a local AI coding agent for your terminal and browser, running on Ollama. Free, open source, and it runs on your own hardware unless you point it somewhere else.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Natuworkguy/Flash/main/install.sh | bash

What would you want your local model to remember about you?
