You presumably had a working 2fa app already, but off the cuff decide to switch to new unvetted variant X; basically unknown auth system after reading a few paragraphs of text in an afternoon? Does this seem sound?

While I would have the same reaction, in this case I think it is a sane decision. Ente is cornering the privacy market and I think they're doing a great job. They have a lot to lose (trust) and it would be stupid if they did something shady with the data entered in the 2FA app.

Not knowing them, how could OP trust them instantly? Whether they really have that trust or not, you have to know them for a while and from many different trustable sources. The story is a bit strange.

There's dozens of local inference apps that basically wrap llama.cpp and someone else's GGUFs. The decentralized sync history part seems new? Not much else. But the advertisement copy is so insufferably annoying in how it presents this wrapper as a product.

Have a comparison chart to Ollama, LMStudio, LocalAI, Exo, Jan.AI, GPT4ALL, PocketPal, etc.

You can see what it uses here - https://github.com/ente-io/ente/blob/main/web/apps/ensu/src/... Either LFM2.5-1.6B-4bit or Qwen3.5-2B-8bit or Qwen3.5-4B-4bit

Huh, 1.6B/2B/4B models, I guess they weren't joking when they said "not as powerful as ChatGPT or Claude Code". Also unsure why they said "Claude Code", it's not an CLI agent AFAIK?

Claude Code is a Desktop app as well.

Heard the first time about them (ente) yesterday in a discussion about "which 2FA are u using?". Directly switched to https://ente.com/auth/ on Android and Linux Desktop and very happy with it. Going to give this a try...

I ended up picking them because they were the only open source one that worked on all my devices IIRC.

The consfusing way AI companies like to name products is something to be studied.

I don’t think so. IIRC the desktop app is called Claude and it has a code option in the UI.

As do most of the associated comments. I think we're surrounded by bots.

I'm not a bot. Check my comment history and account age.

You sure were when you posted those comments, but now, we cannot be sure...

So you look down you see a tortoise. It's crawling towards you.
