A multi-platform AI chat client that connects to any model you choose
Configure the AI providers or API keys you already use, and switch between them inside the client instead of committing to a single bundled service.
Native apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android keep your conversations and settings aligned across devices.
Drag in PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, code and image files and let the model summarise, extract or analyse the content directly.
Edit the same image across multiple turns, automatically carrying over the previous version and merging several images while keeping subjects consistent.
The best frontend for AI.
Plug in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other LLM APIs and switch between them in a single interface, comparing responses side by side.
Bring your own keys and pay only for actual usage — Typing Mind is sold as a license rather than a recurring subscription.
Chat history and settings are stored locally in your browser, with no data collection or use for model training by the app.
Build custom AI agents, chain prompts, add training files, connect live APIs and extend functionality through a plugin library.
