24 alternatives to Yet another macOS ChatGPT app

What I thought would take me weeks in development, took me months, but it's finally out. When ChatGPT API came out in March, my first idea of what to build with it was a spotlight-like app for my mac. The product was ready in a matter of days, but making it useful and sellable to people via some kind of distribution platform was another challenge. Coming from web development, learning how to ship a native app was a trip, but here it is, ready to share with the world. Try it out with the free trial, and I'd appreciate any kind of feedback.

Yet Another macOS ChatGPT App is a native application that brings ChatGPT functionality to macOS via a spotlight-like interface. It is designed for macOS users who want quick access to the ChatGPT API without leaving… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Machato is a tiny ChatGPT client that supports all basic features, and more ! I was frustrated with other native implementations that focused on quick access but didn't give easy access to a history of what has been said. Since ChatGPT is a learning tool for me, I'm always ruffling through past conversations. The client supports markdown rendering as well as LaTeX. Feel free to try it out ! For those who see this thread early, you can use the promo code EARLY_BIRD to get a free lifetime license. Let me know if some aspects can be improved or if there are features you'd like to see…
