Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/12066

The current Ollama App chat UI displays all possible model names in the selector drop-down without indication of installation status. We suggest separating dropdown categories for available and already pulled models with a clear visual indicator.

Proposed Solution:

Display all available models
Create a separate category for already pulled models (e.g., "Already Installed")
Use a specific icon, badge, tooltip, or hover effect to indicate model installation status
Example UI Layout:

  • Available Models

    • Model A
    • Model B
    • ...

  • Already Pulled Models

    • [Installed] Model C
    • [Installed] Model D
    • ...
      or

  • Available Models

    • Model A (Already Installed)
    • Model B
    • ...

  • Already Pulled Models

    • Model C
    • Model D
    • ...
      Expected Outcome: Improved user experience with clear indication of model installation status in the dropdown UI.

@rruusu commented on GitHub (Aug 29, 2025):

Models that have already been pulled are used more frequently and should be as accessible as possible. Downloading additional models is a secondary function of the selector and should be designed to prevent accidental selection, which can trigger large downloads that consume significant time and disk space.

To make the selection of available models easier while reducing the chance of accidentally selecting unavailable ones, I suggest the following changes:

  • The dropdown menu should only show models that have already been pulled.
  • At the bottom of the menu, there could be a submenu for suggested models with a label such as Pull from Repository >.
    • This submenu would list the default models for download.
    • It would also include an Other... option at the end, which would open a dialog listing all models in the Ollama repository, complete with a search field.

If the dropdown menu does not support a hierarchical presentation, it could simply show the Other... option after the list of locally available models.
