thanks for checking it out. What’s the killer LMStudio feature for you? I think we probably have slightly different goals with our apps but would love to know what you’re liking regardless.

For me it's a few things, I like LM studio because it's an app that's got lots of fine grained controls for tech-focused folks but is simple enough for people that just want to try LLMs to use. The customisability is great - the ability to have all your configuration/settings in the right panel is really useful, prompt templates per model, the inbuilt model gallery / downloader and more recently the local inference server that exposes an API is really handy. But... it's not open source and it's Electron...

If you were to ask me what feature did I wish LMStudio had that if FreeChat had - would make me use it it would probably be really tight macOS integration. Perhaps sort of similar to how something like https://www.finito.ai https://www.finito.ai looks to be positioning itself but OSS and local first. It would be awesome to be able to have your local lly complete text in any application, input code in any editor, pass any image or graphic on the screen etc.... I think this would require using the accessibility / screen recording APIs so you'd want to trust whatever model you were running.

  Thanks, this and your other comment are very useful. I agree that finito ux is really cool and I had the same thought about it feeling sketchy to enable. They’re definitely more aligned with the use cases I’m excited about (more task oriented / simple for non-technical people).
