YakGPT is a locally running, browser-based ChatGPT UI that connects directly to the OpenAI API with your own key. It adds hands-free voice interaction via speech-to-text (Azure, Whisper) and text-to-speech (Azure, Eleven Labs) while keeping all state in localStorage.
Use cases
- chat with gpt-4 in the browser using my own api key
- hands-free voice chat with chatgpt using my microphone
- self-host a chatgpt interface without analytics or tracking
- faster chatgpt ui that calls the openai api directly
- speech to text dictation for ai chat prompts
- text to speech responses for ai conversations
- run a chatgpt client locally on localhost
When to choose
- you want a privacy-conscious ChatGPT client with no analytics and local-only state
- you prefer voice interaction over typing
- you want lower latency by hitting the OpenAI API directly instead of the official UI
- you want to self-host or run the UI locally with your own API key
When to avoid
- you need a backend, team features, or shared chat history
- you want provider-agnostic support beyond OpenAI, Azure, and Eleven Labs
- you need an actively developed project with frequent updates
- you want a mobile app rather than a browser-based UI
