M-Courtyard: GUI app for fine-tuning mlx-community models on Mac (open source)

Hi everyone! I built an open-source macOS app called M-Courtyard that provides a full GUI for fine-tuning LLMs using mlx-lm on Apple Silicon. It integrates directly with Hugging Face’s mlx-community models — you can browse, download, and fine-tune models like Qwen 3, DeepSeek R1, Llama 3 and more, all through a visual interface. Workflow: 1. Import documents → Auto-generate training data 2. Select a model from mlx-community (auto-download) 3. Fine-tune with LoRA/DoRA — real-time loss visualization 4. Test with built-in chat 5. Export to Ollama No CLI, no Python scripts needed. GitHub: GitHub - tuwenbo0120/m-courtyard: M-Courtyard: Local AI Model Fine-tuning Assistant for Apple Silicon. Zero-code, zero-cloud, privacy-first desktop app powered by Tauri + React + mlx-lm. Requirements: macOS 14+, Apple Silicon, 16GB+ RAM recommended Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from fellow MLX users!
