FAQ
Is it safe to login with my account in the app?
Yes, it is safe. There is no data transferred in the app (you can check the source). It's just a wrapper for teh popular Chat AI website. If you are still unsure, you can build your own binary and use it.
I cannot open the MacOS app because developer cannot be verified?
- In the Finder on your Mac, locate the chat ai app. Don't use Launchpad to do this. Launchpad doesn't allow you to access the shortcut menu.
- Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
- Click Open.

Order: strongest tier first, then most downloads, then name, with unmeasured values last. A library counts downloads over 30 days. An app counts binary downloads per release. An app with none counts its crate downloads over 30 days. ML Rust runs this catalogue, so its closest project always gets a row.

Why ListedNo archive, New or Featured rule places it, so it is Listed.
What it lacks for Featured
- The project is dormant and not finished. Dormancy rule
What else the check found
- The last activity is on 20 Mar 2023, 1330 days ago. That reaches the 365 days the rules expect, so the project is dormant. Dormancy rule
- The oldest outside issue waits 1432 days for a reply, past the limit of 270. No maintainer replied in 365 days. Rot signals rule
Not measured: Unpatched vulnerabilities past the grace window, First release.
Exact rules: Listed, Featured app. The check on applied thresholds version 9.
