With a native ChatGPT desktop app and free support for GPT-4o in ChatGPT, I suspect that there’s no longer much need for an app like WitKit to exist. We’ll see once this stuff actually rolls out.
@brandonhorst Been thinking about this. The key benefit something like WitKit would bring at this stage is supporting multiple providers. I'm tinkering with running open models on my laptop through Ollama, and this opens up a variety of use cases where I'm not comfortable uploading everything to ChatGPT, like code bases or my Obsidian vault. Would be nice to have a single app to access various LLMs. There are a bunch of Mac apps out there for this but nothing "Mac-assed".
@nighthawk Yeah I’ve been thinking through that too. It wouldn’t be hard at this point, as they’re all still so similar. That’s part of what I’m waiting for at WWDC. On the off-chance they do give us some interesting local LLM apis, I want to jump on that.
TBH, the hardest part of this project has turned out to be making it both Mac-assed and iOS-assed. Much of the time it feels closer to building 2 separate apps than it does to building one that runs in both places.
@brandonhorst Oh yeah, I can very much relate to that feel with iOS and Mac!
I am curious what local LLMs will let you do in iOS 18. So far I’ve found them most useful on my Mac to work with my code bases or Obsidian vault. Looking forward to WWDC.
