ChatGPT Desktop Application (Available on Mac, Windows, and Linux)

---

Note

If you want to experience a more powerful AI wrapper application, you can try the Noi (https://github.com/lencx/Noi), which is a successor to the ChatGPT desktop application concept.

---

This is an unofficial project solely intended for personal learning and research. Since the ChatGPT desktop application was open-sourced, it has garnered a lot of attention, and I want to thank everyone for their support. However, as the project progressed, two issues have arisen that greatly impact its future development:

• Some individuals have repackaged and sold it for profit.
• The name and icon of ChatGPT could potentially lead to infringement disputes.

Live Demo

• ChatGPT Desktop Application v1.0.0
• ChatGPT automatically performs the "Continue generating" button, freeing up your hands.

📦 Install

• 📝 Update Log
• 🕒 History versions...

Windows

• ChatGPT_1.1.0_windows_x86_64.msi: Direct download installer

• Use winget:

  # install the latest version
  winget install --id=lencx.ChatGPT -e
  
  # install the specified version
  winget install --id=lencx.ChatGPT -e --version 1.1.0

Note: If the installation path and application name are the same, it will lead to conflict (#142)

Mac

• ChatGPT_1.1.0_macos_aarch64.dmg: Direct download installer
• ChatGPT_1.1.0_macos_x86_64.dmg: Direct download installer
• Homebrew
  Or you can install with Homebrew (Cask):

  brew tap lencx/chatgpt https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT.git
  brew install --cask chatgpt --no-quarantine

  Also, if you keep a Brewfile, you can add something like this:

  repo = "lencx/chatgpt"
  tap repo, "https://github.com/#{repo}.git"
  cask "chatgpt", args: { "no-quarantine": true }

If you encounter the error message "ChatGPT" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash. while installing software on macOS, it may be due to security settings restrictions in macOS. To solve this problem, please try the following command in Terminal:

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /YOUR_PATH/ChatGPT.app

Linux

• ChatGPT_1.1.0_linux_x86_64.deb: Download .deb installer, advantage small size, disadvantage poor compatibility
• ChatGPT_1.1.0_linux_x86_64.AppImage.tar.gz: Works reliably, you can try it if .deb fails to run

ChatGPT Prompts!

You can look at awesome-chatgpt-prompts to find interesting features to import into the app. You can also use Sync Prompts to sync all in one click, and if you don't want certain prompts to appear in your slash commands, you can disable them.

✨ Features

• Multi-platform: macOS Linux Windows
• Text-to-Speech
• Export ChatGPT history (PNG, PDF and Markdown)
• Automatic application upgrade notification
• Common shortcut keys
• System tray hover window
• Powerful menu items
• Support for slash commands and their configuration (can be configured manually or synchronized from a file #55)
• Customize global shortcuts (#108)
• Pop-up Search (#122 mouse selected content, no more than 400 characters): The application is built using Tauri, and due to its security restrictions, some of the action buttons will not work, so we recommend going to your browser.

Thanks

• The core implementation of the share button code was copied from the @liady extension with some modifications.
• Thanks to the Awesome ChatGPT Prompts repository for inspiring the custom command function for this application.

chatgpt's Issues

Hide Dock Icon + Main Window

Love the menubar dropdown, it's excellent! Can we get rid of the dock icon and main window altogether? 😄 It currently just 'hides' the main window when you click 'close'.

verify you are human

it keeps asking to verify

Add support for debian stable

There is an issue with libssl at start on debian stable.

ChatGPT is at capacity right now

hello. I can't use it. Always like this:

v0.1.8 - application cannot be opened

It can't open on windows 11 after this update.

the Control Center not support the dark theme on Windows

have the {q} tag in Edit to support where we put the caret

First, thank you for building this wonderful addon for chatgpt.

I was wondering if it's in roadmap to support the prompt expansion, so your caret goes directly to the input field (similar how snippets work)

Example:

/prompt_title TAB -> prompt description "{q} (place where you enter your query)"

Hmmm… can't reach this page

The previous version was working just fine. Don't know what happened with this one.
Could someone direct me to the older version please?

mac can't use shortcut keys

ref: tauri-apps/tauri#5669

Can't add new prompts

I add prompts, go to the chat and nothing works, I return to the page for adding prompts and everything disappears there

支持配置代理就好了

Ability to set proxy

I was try to set proxy using proxifier but no luck. Traffic goes throught proxy but i anyways see country limitation. I was try to proxy chatgpt.exe and msedge browser wrapper process.

Can't open app in linux ubuntu20.04

v0.6.1 can't sync prompts (seems like it can't access config file

Thank you for such great APP, it's much better than its offcial web version. Here is a problem:
for v0.6.1 in Win 10, I can't use prompt cmd "/", sync awesome list (no response), and even store my custom prompt. I restart ChatGPT after each operation. Is that a bug or my mistake.

feat: open ~/.chatgpt

#16 (comment)

Wrong style of tray window

[Improvement] Hide to tray upon closing

ChatGPT isn't used constantly, but mostly when required, so having it in tray instead of taskbar would be the more comfortable option.

Could you add an option which makes hiding in tray when clicking close button, as an option?
There's a option now to hide, but it's in menu, means more user actions is needed.

依赖部分不完整

源代码引用了@ant-design/icons的图标，但是package.json没有此依赖，会导致无法运行，安装图标库后可以解决这个问题

v0.1.7 - Checking if the site connection is secure

The client login has been verifying whether it is a robot, and it has not passed, but it can be done on the web page

连接外接屏时，窗口出现位置错误

当我点击菜单栏上的chatgpt时，窗口出现在上方。

经常报错

通常说到一半时就出现这个问题，try again后又可以了。这是我网络的问题吗？

Menu Bar looks weird

Hey, I downloaded the latest version for Mac 13.1 https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT/releases/download/v0.5.1/ChatGPT_0.5.1_x64.dmg

and the menu bar for closing the application are not working and looks not right, is it possible to make a little gab ?

Tray icon in dark mode is almost not visible

win11 上程序无法启动

win11 上程序无法启动

Copy/paste issue?

I copy some things out of the bot sometimes and when I copy from this program into microsoft word, it always produces a large text box around the pasted text. I hadn't seen this before and it's a little frustrating when I go to copy the paste from the word document. Is this intended behavior? Is there a way to disable this? Doesn't do it with other text editors, but their issue is formatting. I prefer how word formats text. I asked the bot but it had never heard of this program ;)

账号登陆逻辑

RT，我是用Microsoft的账号连入openai的，已经有账号并可以正常访问网页端chat（登陆是全局proxy），但是这个软件一直提示无法使用，感觉有点奇怪，可能和登陆逻辑有点关系，请教一下

Synchronize the csv files in the awesome-chatgpt-prompts repository to quickly create slash commands.

The awesome-chatgpt-prompts repo includes all the prompts as csv file in it. You can simply import from the repo and allow your users to use them quickly. The slash command can be generated from the title I guess.

Had over 20 custom prompts, new update deleted them?

Please tell me this update didn't delete my custom prompts? When the update installed, my custom prompts that I worked very hard on developing weren't there.. and I opened the config folder on windows and I don't see it there either. Man, please tell me that this update was not written in such a way to delete stuff like that.

[Improvement] - Create a pkg for Arch Linux

Hello,
about Linux users, I see only .deb package that could be used only by Debian-based distros. Could you think about Arch Linux users too?

Thanks in advance

Feature request: proxy support

For some countries like China, OpenAI's services are not available, so people in these countries can use it in the browser with a vpn, but ChatGBT is not aware of this. Is it possible to set or get proxy from browser?

Doesn't start

Latest version 0.7.0 x64 can't be run run on windows 10 x64.
What I try:

• simple upgrade
• uninstall and the reinstall
• delete config file and then reinstall

Version 0.6.10 is working ok.

汉化支持

参考vscode chatgpt 插件

chatgpt作为语言模型,中文环境和英文环境区别很明显

所以提供一致的汉化界面支持很有必要~

The app is broken

So about an hour ago, the ChatGPT server goes down. When i opened the app at that moment, it shows this

And now the server is back online and accessible via browser, yet the app doesn't shows up the site.

I tried to reinstall, but no luck. The device is WIndows 11.

无法真正退出应用程序

1. 右键任务栏上的程序图标，点击关闭窗口无效。
   

2. 点击关闭按钮并没有任何提示（仅最小化这种），但实际并没有真正关闭应用程序，还挂在任务栏上。

3. 任务栏右侧的程序小图标点击也无反应

4. 菜单栏Quit有效。

Cloudflare "Network Error"

Upon entering a question that needs to be answered in more than 60 seconds, the AI will delete its answer after 60 seconds and show "Network Error".
I believe this is caused by Cloudflare limiting response time. If you could please fix it as soon as possible, that would be greatly appreciated. As half of the users are spamming the gpt-bugs channel on Discord.
Heres an image of the error

Implement topbar CharGPT icon for dark mode environment in Linux

Hello,
I'm using Arch Linux with GNOME 43 in Dark Mode and when I run the AppImage on Linux for running it, the small icon of the application hides on the dark color of the topbar (it is the second icon in black (almost invisible)):

It is possible to use a ChatGPT icon similar to the one in the client (so with white colors?

Since in the settings of the client the user can choose between Light or Dark environment in the Control Center, is it possible to set as default the Desktop environment? For example, if my Desktop Environment is already Dark, also ChatGPT client will have the Theme value set as Dark by default.

Thank you

Doesn't start

Hi,

I'm using macOS (M1), latest OS version. Installed with homebrew (like recommend in the docs). Started it and it worked (v 0.1.x). Then a popup stated that a update is available, so I updated to the latest version (0.2.x). Now it doesn't start anymore:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Error("invalid type: string \"{\\n    \\\"always_on_top\\\": false,\\n    \\\"theme\\\": \\\"Light\\\",\\n    \\\"titlebar\\\": true,\\n    \\\"default_origin\\\": \\\"https://chat.openai.com\\\",\\n    \\\"origin\\\": \\\"https://chat.openai.com\\\",\\n    \\\"ua_pc\\\": \\\"\\\",\\n    \\\"ua_phone\\\": \\\"\\\"\\n}\", expected struct ChatConfJson", line: 0, column: 0)', src/conf.rs:125:70

Some menu entries are empty

Hello,
I'm using the AppImage file for running ChatGPT desktop client and I note that some menu entries are empty. For example Edit does not spawn a list with entries:

and Window spawns a rectangular window but with no entries:

Furthermore, if I click on the menu "ChatGPT" -> "About ChatGPT", I get a window with no information:

OS: Arch Linux with GNOME 43
ChatGPT client version: 0.5.0

v0.7.0 exiting immediately on W11

v0.6.10 working fine, but v0.7.0 is not starting on W11 22H2 (22621.963)

fix download links in README.md

Support mirror address

For example:

• https://gpt.chatapi.art

Ability to consume custom .csv prompt

Could you provide an ability to consume custom prompt links?

If i have a personal repo where I gather all of my prompts - it would be great to point to that repo.

Thanks!

更新逻辑未完全实现，另外可否提供一个关于页面，里面含有版本信息

目前我是每次打开应用，就会出现如下的提示更新：

然而当我点击现在安装（是）时，应用程序本身并没有任何的更多反馈（没有真正更新）。

所以我希望作者能提供一个关于页面，并且填补更新逻辑。

关于在**地区使用的问题汇总

请大家不要再开新的 issues 了，因为它们的问题都是一样的。可以在这里进行讨论，感谢配合！

在大陆地区问题多多，是因为 openai 屏蔽了国内访问。所以关于网络问题大家需要自行解决，ChatGPT 应用并不提供网络代理或者网络配置，它只是对官网 chat.openai.com 网址的包装，扩展了一些额外的功能，仅此而已。以下这些问题都是因为网络问题或者 openai 自身问题造成的。

• 聊天经常报错
• 无法登录，提示国家地区不支持
• 浏览器可以使用，但是 app 却无法使用（自身代理未能代理到系统级）

为什么不可以在 app 里支持代理，因为 app 打包依托于 Tauri，它充当内置浏览器和系统之间的胶水层，承上启下。并未看到 tauri api 有对代理相关的描述。所以总结两点：

• 以我目前的能力，无法实现
• 网络限制来自于第三方，在应用内部解决似乎不是很合理

相关 issues：

• #28
• #49
• #59
• #60
• #76
• #82

mac m1

.dmg seems not to satisify m1/m2 chip for mac? how to fix it?
thanks a lot.

这只是单存套了个壳吧？科学上网、账号还是需要自己解决，那为何不直接用网页版呢。

Improve the in form move

It's probably more a openai side issue but on linux (debian testing) ctrl + arrow not move the text cursor but the current chat "tab" it's not really user friendly.

Some minor issues with the 0.5.1 update process

The installer was in Chinese for some reason. It looked like it tried to close the two ChatGPT windows I had open, but they minimized instead, so I had to close them manually via Quit, then the installation proceeded automatically. I would rather the installer communicated to me in English that I need to close the windows before it can proceed and then I press a button to manually continue the installation.
