CLUSTER DESKTOP-API-CHAT · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-05-03

OpenAI-compatible chat clients

This cluster comprises desktop, web, and Android clients as well as proxies that connect to OpenAI-compatible APIs, often using the user's own API key or session. The six dated entries before the index start appear one at a time across May 2023 to May 2026, a pattern too thin to call a trend. The leading member by activity is 'Chatgpt-5.6-AI-Free-Desktop' (13 stars), with 'thaipass' (2 stars) and 'python-spyder-ai-chat' (0 stars) trailing.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 12 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
