Looks good. I bought MacGPT (https://www.macgpt.com), but sure, I'll buy this too and see how it compares. Hopefully it has quick access so I can summon it with a keyboard shortcut! :)

Re: Show HN: Machato — A native macOS client for ChatGPT
#42Thank you for creating this software, and for making it a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. Big breath of fresh air. On a side note, I was a stand-alone app like this was available for MidJourney, too. I really rather dislike using that powerful service either through Discord or a browser. /rant
I couldn't possibly fathom why they did this, until my husband asked me to share my paid Midjourney account (as we would with any other service)...
Not sure if that was their intention, but...well played Midjourney.

#43Just tried it out and really like streaming support!
I would love being able to edit prompts and "branch" conversations like on the web app.

#44I would really love if this had some kind of plugin system so I could also point it at other models (such as a locally run llama.cpp)
Re: Show HN: Machato — A native macOS client for ChatGPT
#45Very cool. I'd love it if it gave me more info about the differences between some of the available models. I've been using GPT4 exclusively from the web interface; I don't know why I might select GPT4 vs GPT4-0314. I believe I do know why I want to use 32k, but others might not. Basically, I'd want an explanation as to how these differ from what's available in the ChatGPT web-app. The default temperature is 0.0 -- ag…
'-0314' is a snapshot date, won't change, and will be retired in 3 mos:

#46Just bought it but it turns out I can't use it with Monterey :-(

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
Replying in order: - Noted ! This shouldn't be too hard to implement. - This is an important feature, I'm looking to implement it in the very near future. - I had this happen a few times. I'll try to troubleshoot the issue. In the meantime, I found that resizing the window fixed the issue. - Yup ! I've added it to the to-do list. - What kind of format would you find useful ? I'm happy you're enjoying the app.
Don’t really have any format in mind, txt is would be okay. When this app gets a newer version, how would I know? I’ve never purchased from gumroad before.
When I publish an update, I can push an email to those who downloaded the app. I'll probably end up adding some opt-in auto update feature in the app at some point

I'll add some warning on the sales page, sorry about that. Ask for a refund (email me through gumroad), I'll approve it.

This shouldn't be too hard to implement ! Stay tuned for future updates

#50Will it run on OS 10.13? And: Any plans for integrating audio? (Whisper speech to text and Elevenlabs or something as TTS. Should have a general toggle for when you want to work silently. And shouldn’t read code or tables.)
It most likely won't work on OS 10.13. I've looked at this issue earlier today and I'm relying on libraries that require macOS ≥ 13.0. I might look into it if there is demand for it though, but this will probably require leaving out some functionalities for older OSes. As for audio integration, this in not on the to-do list, as I am looking to keep the client lightweight.
Ok cool. Don’t worry about it. I think few people are as sluggish with software updates as I am. As for audio: I find ChatGPT gives the best answers when you give it a lot of context. Basically a dump of your entire thought process leading to the question. For that, I find typing to be a real bottleneck. And I do touch type. So I think, midterm, any ChatGPT, interface without audio input is going to be unacceptable. I could be wrong, of course. Just a guess.
