🤖 Flm Compagnon

📝 Description

Flm Compagnon is a modern GUI designed to accompany and manage the FastFlowLM (FLM) project. It offers a smooth user experience to interact with your local AI models, monitor the server, and manage your configurations.

Important

This application requires FastFlowLM (FLM) to be installed on your system. Without it, Flm Compagnon will not function.

✨ Features

• Server: Configuration and management of the FLM server instance.
• Resource Monitor: Real-time NPU and RAM usage monitoring with historical charts when server is running.
• Presets: Save and manage custom server configurations as presets for quick access.
• System Tray: Quick access to server controls, model selection, presets, and status directly from the notification area.
• Auto-Updates: Automatic update check at startup for both FLM Companion and FastFlowLM with integrated installer.
• Auto-start: Option to launch the application automatically at Windows startup.
• Start Minimized: Option to launch the application minimized to the system tray (configurable in settings).
• Settings: Application customization.
• About: View application version, hardware information, FLM changelog, and check for updates.
• Multilingual: Interface management in English, French, and Japanese.
• Theme: Management of light and dark themes.
