## What it is
Chatpad AI is a free, open-source, privacy-focused chat interface for ChatGPT/OpenAI APIs, available as a web app and Electron desktop app. All user data is stored locally, and it can be self-hosted via Docker or one-click deployments.

## Use cases
- chat with chatgpt through a nicer interface
- self-host a chatgpt web ui with docker
- privacy-focused chatgpt client that stores data locally
- desktop app for openai api chat
- open source alternative chatgpt frontend

## When to choose
- you want a polished, privacy-focused ChatGPT UI with local-only data storage
- you need to self-host a chat frontend via Docker or one-click deploys
- you want both a web and desktop (Electron) client

## When to avoid
- you need multi-provider LLM support beyond OpenAI/ChatGPT
- you need team features, shared workspaces, or centralized account management
- you need an actively developed project with frequent updates
