I built Ollie because I was noticing a couple of things in the current AI coding landscape:
Subscription Fatigue: I didn't want to increase more monthly costs for LLM tools that I use every day.
Black Boxes: I wanted to know exactly what data/tokens were being sent to the LLM, so I built a "Glass-Box" interface that shows token-level transparency.
Ollie is a native IDE (Mac/Win/Linux) that supports remote and local models and gives you full control over the system prompt. It also includes tools for 3D inspection and manuscript writing, as I wanted a single "creator workstation."
I'm adding it as a one-time purchase, I usually prefer when I own my licenses.

I’d love to hear your feedback.
