TLTBE / LOCAL EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Your photos.
Your voice. Your Mac.

Draft captions with Qwen running on your Mac. You decide what to use.

Checking your connection…

Leave LM Studio and the Mac helper page open while generating. Requests and drafts sync through your private HQ account. Photo files are not sent by this version.

Connect your Mac once per session

  1. Keep LM Studio’s local server running at localhost:1235, with Qwen selected and CORS off.
  2. Download the TLTBE Mac helper into Downloads.
  3. Open Terminal and run:
    python3 ~/Downloads/tltbe-local-helper.py

    If your Mac says Python is missing or asks to install developer tools, stop there and tell ChatGPT. This helper needs Python 3; it installs no packages.

  4. The helper opens a local page. Sign in there with your existing HQ account, then press Start helper. Keep that page open and return here.

The helper only accepts requests on this Mac. It reads no folders and has no social posting action. Close its Terminal window when you want to stop it.
