Setup & Troubleshooting
Connecting an AI Provider
QueryTune doesn’t include an LLM; it connects to a provider of your choice.
Local: Ollama (Recommended)
- Download and install Ollama.
- Open your terminal and pull a model:
ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:7b.
- Ensure Ollama is running (check the menu bar icon).
- In QueryTune Settings, the default URL
http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions should work out of the box.
Cloud: OpenAI or Compatible
- Obtain an API Key from your provider (OpenAI, Groq, DeepSeek).
- In QueryTune Settings, set the API URL provided by the service.
- Enter your API Key.
- Enter the exact Model Name (e.g.,
gpt-4o).
There are several QueryTune parameters you can change.
Do you want QueryTune replies in your language? Modify the Chat Prompt in Settings, System Prompt
Common Issues
“It takes a long time…”
- Optimize Mode: When QueryTune is used in Optimize Mode it has to finish the whole conversation with AI and this can take a couple of minutes. For a real-time experience use Chat Mode.
“Connection Error”
- Local: Is Ollama running? Can you access
http://localhost:11434 in your browser?
- Cloud: Is your API key correct? Do you have enough credits in your account?
- Network: Check if a firewall is blocking QueryTune.
“Model Not Found”
- Ensure the model name in Settings matches exactly what you have in Ollama (run
ollama list to check).
- For Cloud, ensure the model name is supported by your API key.
UI looks weird or Fonts are missing
- QueryTune uses system fonts (
Menlo, Consolas, Ubuntu). If the UI looks misaligned, try changing the font size in Settings.
