No, it doesn't. If it did, it would be a 700GB+ download and not need OpenAI API keys. Wish folks would stop saying it.

As with other OpenAI based applications, I don't feel comfortable sharing my private API key with an application I don't know. Especially when the webpage isn't telling me what this app is about. I suggest adding a small demo video or at least adding some bullets on what this app is trying to solve.

If you're using a third-party UI for ChatGPT, it might as well be a browser extension [0] or a native app [1]. It really shines when you break it out of its website interface and start using it like a command palette/context menu.

Clean UI, loads fast, but there's significant latency when I type a prompt into the text box... probably client state being debounced or something

I'm missing the purpose of this.

Design wise it's not bad, but for some reason it takes a while second for the words I type on my phone to appear in the prompt area. Quite a pity.

Like the big ui, reminds me of 37signals (I think?)

Typing is very slow, that needs to be fixed.

Simple, clean UI, I like it.
