Check Existing Issues

I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Other

Open WebUI Version

latest

Ollama Version (if applicable)

latest

Operating System

macoS Tahoe

Browser (if applicable)

Version 147.0.7727.56 (Official Build) (arm64)

Confirmation

I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Where is MCP?
Where is Ollama settings in API keys?
Why is sidebar devoid of text
There's no onboarding steps
Why is there no download button on the websiye's home page? is it a Docker thing? is it a desktop thing? very bad product design for discoverability

Actual Behavior

opposute of expected.

Steps to Reproduce

use the website after google login

Logs & Screenshots

this is crazy long for a feedback, you guys are gonna fail if feedack is so frictioned.
