Maybe I've missed something, but I can't find a way to set a system prompt directly in the Ollama app. I know it's possible by creating a custom model with a Modelfile, or when using the API, but it would be great to have this feature in the Ollama app as well.
I would love to see an option in the app settings or chat interface to define a system prompt without needing to rebuild the model or use the terminal.
Thanks for all the work you're doing!

That would be great, plus a restore option (in case we set something up wrong).

It would be nice to have a dropdown of saved system prompts.
