What is ChatTab?

ChatTab is a native macOS application that provides a dedicated interface for working with multiple AI language models, including GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and Claude 2. Rather than relying on web browsers or third-party integrations, ChatTab runs directly on your Mac, allowing you to manage API keys securely and maintain conversation history locally or through iCloud. The application is designed for users who regularly interact with AI models and want a more organised approach than browser tabs. It supports multiple conversation tabs, Markdown formatting for richer text output, and stores your API credentials in Apple's keychain rather than in the cloud. This makes it suitable for writers, developers, researchers, and anyone who uses AI tools as part of their daily workflow.
