Built an desktop AI companion that always pinned at top.
Some of the features:
-
Lightweight: Built on Tauri v2 + React + Rust for low RAM usage.
-
Always-on-Top Floating Mode: Pinned window stays on top so you can code and query AI side-by-side (no more app-switching!).
-
Secure Keyring Storage: API keys are saved directly in your OS secure Keychain/Keyring
-
Local SQLite Database: All chat history and threads are saved locally on your device.
-
Multi Provider Support: Connect to Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, local Ollama, or custom endpoints.
It is Open-source and free to download. Availabe for Windows, Mac and Linux.
