Introducing RouterChat
(This post was approved by the mods)
Hello everybody! As we all know, models like Sonnet 5 are near unusable on their official websites. As a result, many people use the API instead. The problem with API is that you need an interface. One popular option is OpenRouter, but the OpenRouter chat interface on their official website is hideous.
I made RouterChat, a local interface for chatting with models using the OpenRouter API. RouterChat is strictly BYOK and has all the standard features, like regeneration and editing your prompts. It runs locally on your computer, so everything stays on your own device.
It’s still in early development, but currently stable and usable. RouterChat is 100% free and open source. Feel free to check it out. I would love any feedback :)

My current plans for the future of RouterChat are to make more UI improvements, and to add support for more model providers.
