## What it is
NoFWL is a cross-platform desktop application for accessing ChatGPT, built with Tauri and Rust. It wraps the ChatGPT experience in a native Mac, Windows, and Linux app with additional features beyond the web interface.

## Use cases
- use ChatGPT as a native desktop app on macOS
- access ChatGPT on Windows without a browser
- install a ChatGPT client on Linux
- get a lightweight ChatGPT desktop wrapper
- use ChatGPT with keyboard shortcuts and native menus

## When to choose
- you want a native ChatGPT desktop client on Mac, Windows, or Linux
- you prefer a lightweight Tauri app over a browser tab
- you want a ChatGPT wrapper with extra features inspired by lencx/ChatGPT

## When to avoid
- you need API-based usage or custom model selection rather than the ChatGPT web interface
- you need a maintained, actively updated client (development appears stalled since early 2024)
- you need a headless or programmatic ChatGPT integration
