Hi there!

Feeling unsatisfied with current native macOS implementations of ChatGPT's API, I decided to make my own ! This is how Machato was born. It features a IM-like user interface, written in pure swift/swiftUI.

My biggest gripe with available clients is the lack of history and powerful conversation management features. Machato keeps a local history of all your chats, and allows you to define per-conversation settings. As an example, one specific conversation can leverage GPT4's capabilities without making it the global default model.

Some features include: GPT4 support, conversation management (will be improved in the future), per-conversation settings (model, temperature, prompt, rendering capabilities). ChatGPT's output is rendered in markdown by default, but supports LaTeX output !

The app is pay-what-you-want, starting from 3€. You can learn more about it on Machato.app.

Some up-and-coming features are: global search, conversation folders, re-generate answer... Feel free to suggest new features !

Looks good. Is there a manual for Machato?

What's the situation with logging into ChatGPT…is it persistent, automatic or manual at each launch of the app?

Thanks! I aim at keeping Machato self-explanatory, but am looking into publishing a documentation/FAQ soon.

Machato doesn't require you to log in to ChatGPT, it relies on your OpenAI API key. Once you have provided your key, it is stored locally so no logging in is required at all.
