Files
Read, search by name and content, edit fragments, create, copy and move files right from the chat.
NChat AI
A desktop chat with language models that works with your computer directly: it reads and writes files, runs commands, manages git and connects MCP servers.
Features
Shell and system
Run commands, launch programs, manage processes, services and environment variables, all behind confirmations.
Git
Status, diffs, history, commits, branches, push and pull without switching to a terminal.
MCP servers
Connect external tools over the Model Context Protocol. Available tools depend on the servers you add.
Parallel chats
Work in several conversations at once, with a status indicator for each request.
Live previews
HTML, SVG and Mermaid diagrams from the model's reply render right next to the code.
How it looks
Request → tools → result. Every action the model takes is visible in the chat.
You stay in control
An AI with access to your computer is only useful if you decide what it may do.
You confirm
Tools that write files or start processes ask for permission first.
Project boundary
Writing outside the project folder always needs confirmation, no exceptions.
Every step visible
Statuses [✓] done, […] thinking, [✕] error show what the model is doing right now.
Nothing behind your back
If a tool it needs (ffmpeg, sqlite3, pip-audit) is missing, NChat shows the install command instead of installing it itself.
