Author: CherryHQ

Cherry Studio is a desktop app for chatting with many AI models from one window, working with agents, building knowledge bases from your files and creating images. You add your providers and API keys in its settings.

The Homebrew cask needs macOS 13 or later.

It is free and open source under AGPL-3.0. Chats go to the providers you configure, or stay on your Mac with a local model server.
