BoltAI

Best for

People who want one private workspace for multiple models and agents instead of another browser tab.

Why it deserves attention

BoltAI is a native desktop workspace for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Azure, Bedrock, and local models through Ollama or LM Studio. It adds projects, reusable agents, MCP tools, a prompt library, screenshot Q&A, dictation, and optional encrypted cloud sync to iPhone and iPad. You bring your own API keys or route an existing ChatGPT or Claude subscription through Codex or Claude Code, so token costs follow your own accounts. The license is a one-time purchase with a year of updates, not a subscription. The trade-off is that it is desktop-first, and the breadth of models and tools means setup takes longer than a single-provider chat app.
