Exposes OLLAMA_BACKGROUND_MODEL as a per-user setting in General settings, alongside the Chat Model selector. Includes an inline warning when the same model is selected for both, explaining the KV cache performance impact. All background task callers (title generation, tag suggestions, project summaries, RSS classification) now read background_model from user settings, falling back to OLLAMA_BACKGROUND_MODEL env var.

Fabled Assistant
A self-hosted second brain and project management application with integrated LLM capabilities. Write, organise, and act on your notes and tasks with the help of a local AI assistant — all running on your own hardware.
Features
Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, and kanban project workspaces. AI chat with streaming responses, RAG over your notes, and tool use (web search, calendar, weather). A daily briefing that digests your tasks, RSS feeds, and weather on a schedule. Knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, PWA with push notifications, an MCP server for external AI clients, and an Android companion app.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. 8 GB+ RAM recommended for LLM inference.
Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:
# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d
Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. Go to Settings → General to pull an LLM model — qwen3:8b or llama3.1:8b are good starting points.
GPU: Ollama runs CPU-only by default. See the comments in
docker-compose.quickstart.ymlto enable NVIDIA GPU passthrough.
Development: To build from source, see Development.
