Reference
“Here's what separates RecurseChat out from similar apps: - UX designed for you to use local AI as a daily driver. Zero config setup, supports multi-modal chat, chat with multiple models in the same session, link your own gguf file. - Import ChatGPT history. This is probably my favorite feature. Import your hundreds of messages, search them and even continuing previous chats using local AI offline. - Full text search. Search for hundreds of messages and see results instantly. - Private and capable of working completely offline.”
