ChatWise

ChatWise provides a desktop‑based chat interface that can communicate with a wide range of large language models, including GPT‑4, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and Llama. Users supply their own API keys or link existing subscriptions, allowing direct access to the chosen provider while keeping all conversation history stored locally on the Mac. The application emphasizes speed and a lightweight experience, aiming to be responsive for everyday productivity tasks.

In addition to plain text, the client supports multimodal inputs such as audio, PDFs, images and other text files, and it can retrieve up‑to‑date information via web search using Tavily’s API or the local browser. An integration layer called MCP lets the chatbot interact with external services like Notion, Google Sheets and browsers, turning the AI into a tool for automating workflows.

The software targets developers and power users who want a privacy‑friendly, high‑performance desktop chat that works with any subscribed LLM and can be extended with custom APIs and tool connections.
