📄 Description

Summary

Implements OLLAMA_GUI_NOHISTORY support in the GUI (#14313).

Problem

The GUI stores chat history and attachments in SQLite, and these persist across sessions. In environments where logging must be disabled (compliance, shared machines, etc.), there is no way to prevent chat data from being written to disk. The existing OLLAMA_NOHISTORY variable only affects CLI readline history, not the GUI.

Solution

Add a new environment variable OLLAMA_GUI_NOHISTORY that clears GUI chat history and cached images at three points:

  • When the app starts
  • When the app closes
  • When the user starts a new chat

This keeps OLLAMA_NOHISTORY for CLI behavior and introduces a separate flag for the GUI, per the issue discussion.

How to use

Set the environment variable before launching the Ollama app:

export OLLAMA_GUI_NOHISTORY=1
