Local-first · v0.6 for Windows
The AI chat app that runs on your machine.
Run local GGUF models or bring your own API keys — fully offline if you want. FluxChat gives the model real access to your PC, with you in control of every action. Free, forever.

What it is
A real desktop app — not a browser tab pointed at someone else's server.
FluxChat installs on your machine and keeps your conversations, models, and keys with you. Run entirely offline against local models, or plug in your own provider keys when you want frontier quality. The choice — and the data — stays yours.
Runs locally
Host GGUF models right on your hardware. Nothing leaves the machine unless you tell it to.
Bring your own keys
Already pay for an API? Drop in your key and use it directly. No middleman, no markup, no resale of your tokens.
Real PC tool access
The model can read & write files, run shell commands, and fetch the web — every action visible and revocable.
Built different
Power tools, kept on a short leash.
Full offline mode
Pull the network plug and FluxChat keeps working against your local models. Your data and prompts never touch a server you don't run.
AI Process Manager
Every process the AI launches shows up in one panel. See what's running, watch it live, and stop anything with a single click.
Multi-tab chats
Run several conversations at once across different models. Compare answers side by side without losing your place.
No lock-in
Open formats, your own keys, your own models. Walk away any time and take everything with you — nothing is held hostage.
Free vs. Cloud
Everything's free today. Cloud is on the way.
The desktop app is free forever. An optional Cloud tier — managed inference plus conversation backup and sync — is coming soon.

Three steps to a private AI workstation.
Install the desktop app
Download for Windows and launch. macOS and Linux are on the roadmap.
Pick your engine

Let it work — on your terms
Chat, give it real tasks on your PC, and approve or stop any action it takes. You're always in the loop.
