Hi,

I'm Mr. Cascade, a very friendly guy.

I would like to make the following feature request:

Chats automatically being saved by default.

This is also the expected behaviour. Similar software like terminal gpt has it enabled by default.

I'm on a server where I can't scroll up on Tmux so while testing I lost interesting content several times just because I couldn't scroll up to retrieve it.

Mockup:

All chat logs goes automatically to /etc/ollama_chats or something like that

Otherwise - love your product. I test a lot of packages and this one is outstanding.

It doesn't autosave, but w/ the next version (0.1.21) you will be about to use /save <model_name> to save your current session. You can then type ollama run <model_name> to get it to load back up again.

@bitcoinmeetups thank you for submitting this. As Patrick referred above, you'll be able to use the /save <model_name> command to save your session.

Closing this issue for now.

Thank you!
