Democratizes AI

I love this app. It brings most AI models to your pocket. Great for exploring new models, moving your chats to zero data retention, and getting fine grained control over each request.

Finally!

So far I love this product on iOS. I’d love to see it become a leading client app since it just makes sense to use it.

At some point it would be great to have a direct download native macOS desktop app for those of us who don’t use the Mac App Store.

Thanks for building this and keep shipping!

Response from developer

I appreciate the feedback. You can now download Router Chat for macOS directly from router-chat.com/download. Thanks for the suggestion.

Simple and nice

Great. Would be nice to have a new chat button though. And multiple system prompts to select from.

Response from developer

Thank you for the positive review and improvement suggestions.
