This project provides a desktop client for ChatGPT, designed for enhanced productivity and minimal resource usage, suitable for continuous operation. It targets users who want a more integrated and efficient way to interact with ChatGPT across multiple platforms, offering features like proxy support, customizable shortcuts, and robust prompt management.

How It Works

The application is built using the Tauri framework, which leverages Rust for the backend and web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) for the frontend. This approach allows for cross-platform compatibility (macOS, Windows, Linux) with a small binary size and efficient resource utilization, aiming for a native-like experience without the overhead of Electron.
