 Now, **start the local server with `OLLAMA_ORIGINS=app://obsidian.md* ollama serve`, this will allow the Obsidian app to access the local server without CORS issues**.
 
 > **NOTE**: If using `fish`, quote the env value: `OLLAMA_ORIGINS="app://obsidian.md*" ollama serve`
 
 Again, `OLLAMA_ORIGINS=app://obsidian.md*` is required!

+
+If Ollama is run as a macOS application, [environment variables should be set using launchctl](https://github.com/Ollama/Ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#setting-environment-variables-on-mac). To support Obsidian, set "app://obsidian.md*" on the `OLLAMA_ORIGINS` variable by running this command:
+
+```sh
+launchctl setenv OLLAMA_ORIGINS "app://obsidian.md*"
+```
+
+Then, quit Ollama from the menu bar and reopen it.
