About QChatGPT
QChatGPT is a free and open-source cross-platform client for OpenAI's ChatGPT, built with the Quasar Framework and Vue.js. It supports Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, offering a unified chat experience across devices.

It includes syntax highlighting for over 20 programming languages, image generation via DALL-E 3, image recognition for common formats, full-text search across chats, and automatic chat grouping by timeline.
