Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/12990

What is the issue?

I have installed the Mac version of Ollama. When I launch the Mac application during my session and have an automated shutdown scheduled, Ollama prevents the macOS from shutting down. The expected behavior is that Ollama will gracefully terminate when it receives a shutdown signal from the operating system, similar to other background applications (e.g., SyncThing).

Relevant log output


OS

macOS

GPU

Apple

CPU

Apple

Ollama version

0.12.10
