## What it is
Better ChatGPT is a free, open-source web and desktop application providing an enhanced UI for OpenAI's ChatGPT API. It offers features like a prompt library, chat folders, and proxy support to bypass regional restrictions.

## Use cases
- chat with chatgpt through a better interface
- organize chatgpt conversations into folders
- access chatgpt in restricted regions via proxy
- manage a library of reusable prompts
- run a free chatgpt client on windows mac or linux

## When to choose
- you want a feature-rich, free alternative UI to the official ChatGPT site
- you need to organize many conversations with folders and search
- you want a desktop app for ChatGPT on Windows, macOS, or Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a backend service or API integration beyond a chat UI
- you require active development and recent feature updates
- you want a self-hosted chatbot with local models rather than OpenAI's API
