What is RecurseChat?

RecurseChat is a Mac application for chatting with AI models, both local and cloud based. It runs GGUF models and Hugging Face models on the device, and can also connect to OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Claude, and ChatGPT. Users can chat with PDFs, markdown, and text files through on-device retrieval, and summon a floating chat window from any app. It suits people who want private, offline AI conversations and a single place for local and hosted models. It is sold as a one-time purchase with a free trial.
