I know this has been discussed before but it changes frequently: what’s the good “generic” Mac desktop client these days? I’d like to use Ollama and/or ChatGPT. Maybe Claude. Perhaps Perplexity, too. I primarily want to use AI chats in various apps, like typing “write a function to…” into whatever random editor I’m using at the moment. It doesn’t have to be a desktop app, either. If there’s a great PopClip plugin or Keyboard Maestro macro, or even something that works as a system service, that’s perfectly fine by me.

MacMind is nifty, but that feels like a lot of money for something that’s a front end to someone else’s API. “Stop being a cheapskate” is a legitimate answer.
