ChatWizard

OpenAI chat client Desktop Application (Windows, MacOS, Linux)

Declaration

• All data will only be stored locally.
• Chat logs and API keys will only be used for the OpenAI API and will not be sent to any other destination.
• If concerned about API key leakage, the in-app forwarding function can be used (which enables storage of the API key on your own server, requiring only a reverse-proxy address to the OpenAI API).

Installation

If a 404 error page appears when clicking the download link, this may be due to the application being packaged at the moment. Please try again later or alternatively, download the most up-to-date version directly from here.

• Mac

  • Intel
  • Apple Silicon

  MacOS users may encounter this problem: "ChatWizard.app" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

  open terminal and execute:

  xattr -cr /Applications/ChatWizard.app

• Windows:

  • msi

• Linux

  • deb
  • AppImage

  It is not surprising for the app to fail to launch on a Linux system. This is likely because the two packages were built on the Ubuntu20. Perhaps you could consider building them locally.

• From Source

  1. First you need to install Tauri development environment and pnpm
  2. Next, use the following command to build.

     git clone https://github.com/lisiur/ChatWizard.git
     cd ChatWizard
     pnpm install
     pnpm run install
     pnpm run build

  3. Your local build version will be located at target/release/bundle/

Upgrade

ChatWizard has built-in upgrade support, and each time you restart the application, it automatically checks for any new releases. If a new version is available, a small red dot will be displayed in the lower left corner.

Plugin

You need to install chat-wizard-cli to use plugin.

Install chat-wizard-cli

• Apple Intel
• Apple Silicon
• Windows
• Linux

How to use

1. You need to rename the downloaded binary file to a more user-friendly name and add it to your environment variables. Let us assume that the binary file is named chat-wizard-cli.
2. Then you need to install plugin in ChatWizard App. For instance, assuming the plugin named commit-summary has already been installed.
3. And finally you can execute: chat-wizard-cli exec commit-summary in terminal.

Q&A

1. Why chat-wizard-cli is so large, almost more then 10 MB

As CLI and GUI programs are completely separate, you can easily install and use plugins with just CLI. However, the current configuration of CLI is still dependent on GUI, which will gradually be improved in the future.

2. Where is the plugin source code

[Feature]: Allows to set the application home page as the "Chat" window, or set it as the default value

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For most desktop ChatGPT users, customizing the prompt or quickly switching the context of the conversation (switching between different conversations) is a strong appeal.

By default, the application uses a non-important entry (casual chat) as the home page, so that users will encounter the problem of switching every time they come in. This drastically degrades the experience.

Describe the solution you'd like

Set the default session window to "Chat" as default

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Provide setting items, allowing users to set the default window Tab to open.
• or set the default session window to "Chat" as default

Additional context

None
