OpenChat for Linux

ChatGPT on Linux with smooth scrolling, low RAM use

What it does

OpenChat for Linux is a lightweight desktop client for OpenAI Chat (ChatGPT) built for Linux users who want a dedicated app instead of living in a browser tab. It’s designed to stay responsive even in very long conversations by smart-loading chat history as you scroll and trimming the live DOM window so performance doesn’t degrade over time. In typical use, it remains extremely memory-efficient (often tens of MB, even with long chats open).
