Chatbox
Chatbox Community Edition is an open-source desktop client for interacting with multiple large language models. It supports OpenAI (ChatGPT), Azure OpenAI, Claude, Google Gemini Pro, Ollama (local models like Llama 2, Mistral), and ChatGLM-6B. All your chat data is stored locally on your device, ensuring privacy and preventing data loss. The app features a clean, ergonomic UI with dark mode, keyboard shortcuts, streaming replies, and full Markdown/LaTeX rendering with code highlighting. It also includes a prompt library, message quoting, and team collaboration for sharing API resources. Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Web, iOS, and Android. The community edition is fully functional but may lack some advanced features from the pro version.

Desktop AI copilot with multi-LLM support, local-only storage, and full cross-platform availability.
Core Features
- Connect to multiple AI providers: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Ollama, and more
- All data stored locally on your device – never uploaded to cloud
- Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Web, iOS, Android
- Dark mode, keyboard shortcuts, streaming replies for smooth chatting
- Built-in prompt library, message quoting, and team API sharing
What It Can't Do
- •Community Edition is GPLv3 open-source; some advanced features (e.g., more AI models, advanced prompt templates) are in Pro version. You need your own API keys for each provider. Ollama local models require Ollama service to be running first. No telemetry or data collection by Chatbox itself.
Use Cases
- Power users who want to switch between different LLMs without leaving one app
- Privacy-conscious individuals who prefer local data storage
- Teams that need to share OpenAI or other API resources
- Developers running local models via Ollama who want a polished UI
