NextChat is an open‑source, cross‑platform AI chat assistant that lets users interact with many LLMs (GPT‑5, Claude, Gemini, etc.) without configuring API keys. It is available as a web app, desktop app (via Tauri/Electron), and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Use cases

  • Chat with GPT‑5, Claude, Gemini and other models instantly without providing an API key.
  • Run a fast, lightweight AI assistant on Windows, macOS, or Linux desktops.
  • Access a multi‑model chat interface on iOS or Android devices.
  • Deploy a PWA for AI chat that works in any modern browser.
  • Use a single UI to switch between dozens of LLM providers and manage usage pay‑as‑you‑go.

When to choose

  • You need a ready‑to‑use, zero‑configuration chat UI for multiple LLMs.
  • You prefer a cross‑platform solution that works on web, desktop, and mobile.
  • You want an open‑source project with active maintenance and a large community.
  • You are looking for a pay‑as‑you‑go model without managing API keys yourself.

When to avoid

  • You require on‑premise hosting with no external API calls for data privacy.
  • You need deep customisation of the chat UI or integration into a larger backend system.
  • You need enterprise‑grade features not provided by the open‑source version.
