llama explain is a Chrome extension that explains complex text online in simple terms, by using a local-running LLM (Large Language Model). All is done locally on your machine. No data is sent to OpenAI's, or any other company's, server. No need to pay for any service.
Just select the text you need help understanding, right click, and select 'llama explain' from the context menu.
It's built on top of Ollama (https://ollama.ai/) and as such, currently runs only on MacOS.
