Machato — The native ChatGPT client for macOS
Machato is a native client for OpenAI's ChatGPT. It works just like any other instant messaging app, but on steroids !
It supports many features:
- Granular control over the API's parameters: temperature, presence & frequency penalty, top probability, max tokens, etc.
- Conversation management: create as many distinct conversations as you want, keep their history, manage their configurations (model, temperature, text rendering capabilities, etc) independently from other chats. Conversation titles are automatically generated from the first few messages.
- Supports all chat OpenAI models (so long as your API key grants you access to them)
- Render code with proper syntax highlighting, render markdown tables, and all github-flavoured markdown capabilities. Render LaTeX equations as well.
- Advanced token usage statistics: track your expenses on a daily basis.
- Use custom system prompts (personality), and manage your user prompts in the Prompt Library
- Easy copy and paste with per-message copy-to-clipboard button.
Machato has a robust rendering engine

How to install ?
Download the zip file, and extract it anywhere you want. You can then directly launch Machato from the extracted Machato.app, or move it to your Applications folder
How do I get updates ?
On the second launch of Machato, you will be asked to opt-in to automatic update checking (one check every 24h when the app is launched). If you don't want to opt-in to auto-update but still want to manually update, you can manually check for updates in the app's settings. This download page will also be kept up-to-date, should you face issues with auto-update.
