a password manager works great instead, i reccomend the open-source (+selfhostable!) bitwarden
id do the first one, i don't like mesh so much
i would love to do the survey, however i stay away from proprietary/privacy invasive services (google).
good luck though, and thanks for your work on this community!
selfhosted AI is 1000% more confidential than a human therapist; but stuff like ChatGPT? yeah stay away from those

in general, you would want something fast (probably something that fits in your GPU/VRAM) so you can get suggestions as fast as you can type. for chat, you'll probably want the most intelligent/lorgest model you can run, it's likely fine if it's running on the CPU/RAM since the quality of an individual answer is more important than the speed in which many small answers can be generated. so, probably qwen for both, but, different sizes/quant for different use cases.
are you looking for autocomplete or chat?
