About:
macai is a native macOS chat application designed to interact with multiple Large Language Model APIs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. It provides a unified, privacy-focused interface for managing conversations and prompts locally, offering a streamlined alternative to web-based chat clients.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, custom endpoints)
  • Native macOS user interface with system-wide shortcuts
  • Local conversation and API key storage for enhanced privacy
  • Prompt library and conversation management tools
Use Cases:
  • Managing API-based AI chats without using a web browser
  • Comparing responses from different LLM providers side-by-side
  • Maintaining a private, local archive of AI conversations
Alternatives:
  • BoltAI – Similar native macOS app, but macai is open-source and focuses on multi-provider support.
  • Web Interface (OpenAI Playground) – macai offers a native, offline-capable experience with local data storage.
