MChatP is a chat client for the AI server you run yourself. You choose the computer, the server software and the models: LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible server such as Ollama, oMLX or llama.cpp, with the open models you installed. MChatP hosts no model and runs no backend: it talks to your server, at home over your local network or from anywhere over a private network such as Tailscale, and shows the replies. Using MChatP requires a computer already running one of these servers (third-party software); the in-app Help walks through the setup step by step. YOUR SERVER, YOUR MODELS • Any model your server offers, from small and fast to large ones no phone could run, switched in one tap • LM Studio through its native API, with the MCP tools of your mcp.json: your files and tools stay on your computer, the server runs them • Ollama, oMLX, llama.cpp and any server exposing /v1/chat/completions, token optional • Several server profiles (MChatP Pro) MANAGE MODELS REMOTELY (MCHATP PRO) Load or unload a model on your LM Studio computer, or download a new one there from its catalog ID or a Hugging Face link, with live progress. PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS • Show up to four photos to a vision model • Attach a PDF, text, Markdown, JSON or CSV file: its text is extracted on your device and sent with your message, so it works with any model WATCH IT THINK • The model's reasoning, folded above the answer • MCP tool calls as they start, succeed or fail • Model loading and prompt progress, then speed in tokens per second • Developer Mode adds time to first token, token counts and the full detail of each tool call (MChatP Pro) SYSTEM PROMPTS AND CHAT TOOLS A system prompt to steer the model (one included, a library with MChatP Pro); stop or regenerate a reply, copy, rename, search your history, keyboard shortcuts (⌘N, āŒ˜ā†©, ⌘K). HANDS-FREE • Ask MChatP from the action button or by voice; the answer comes back without opening the app • Start a conversation or test your server from the system's shortcuts PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Server profiles, tokens, conversations and attachments stay on your device • No account, no cloud sync, no analytics • Tokens in the device keychain; optional PIN lock with biometric unlock • Transparent about AI: you always know you are chatting with an AI model, the one you loaded on your own server, as the European AI Act requires MCHATP PRO, ONE-TIME PURCHASE Several server profiles, remote model management on LM Studio, a library of system prompts, Developer Mode and conversation export, unlocked with a single non-consumable purchase, charged at confirmation; the price is shown in the app. No subscription, nothing renews. After reinstalling or changing devices, Restore Purchases unlocks it again at no extra cost.
