FreeChat is a local AI chat app for macOS designed for private, on-device conversations with AI models. Because everything runs on your computer, you keep control over your data and avoid sending prompts or files to the cloud—useful when working with sensitive information.
Local processing and privacy
FreeChat relies on local AI models, so your content stays on your Mac. This approach helps reduce the risk of data leaks and fits workflows where confidentiality matters.
- Keep messages and content on-device
- Use AI without cloud requests
- Suitable for sensitive work and offline-friendly setups
Open-source and transparent
FreeChat is open-source, so you can review how data is handled and modify the app if you need custom behavior.
- Inspect the code and data flow
- Adapt features to your own needs
macOS-native chat experience
The interface is built for macOS and works like a familiar messenger: you can hold conversations, ask questions, and generate text or ideas. Setup is quick, with no complex configuration or registration required.
