I always wanted to develop an iOS app, and I finally did!

It’s a native interface for ChatGPT that saves chats locally.

- No pricing markup - Use your own OpenAI account / API key.
- No subscriptions.
- No data collected.
- 100% SwiftUI

@georgiatdavis @Meta Wow! Congrats!

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@jordibruin Cool. Just integrated with chat would be nice.

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@tldrnewsletter Seriously, why no links??
You could at least post a link to the online version of the email, which I assume has the links.

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@Galileo_AI Looks amazing!

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@tldrnewsletter I liked the separate tweets much better. I want to read the sources, plus it’s easier to read

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@jordibruin There are still many companies with the same legacy model still, of course, but I think the future is about building a good UX for the free tech, like you have done. I know of other apps that have done a worse job than you have, but the competition will grow, I think. Head start!

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@jordibruin I don’t think ppl think about server costs, no, but it was kind of the only option. The services paid Amazon, etc for their transcription tech & did a markup on it. (assuming here). But whisper is better accuracy & given away for free, so it has kind of changed the model, imo.

@ihf See if the playground shows that you have access. https://t.co/Jg5wxpRDJh

@JStaubr Yeah, the api test is actually what creates the problem, come to find out. It’s fixed in the next version, but until then, a kill and restart should get you past it. Sorry about that

Finally found it was from the onboarding screen “Test API” button, so never thought to check there.

Good news is that I fixed about a dozen other bugs while trying to hunt it down!

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

Finally (!) found the “conversation is a required value” bug.

Available in 1.3.2 as soon as Apple approves it.

In the meantime, a kill and restart gets you past it.

Sorry about that, every new user.

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@peteostro There are 2 types of accounts. One for chatgpt Plus, and one for the api.

This app doesn’t require the monthly paid version of chatgpt Plus ($20/mo.). It uses the API, which still requires a payment method on file, but has no monthly fee.Just your usage: https://t.co/As6Hqo5Lkv

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@dfens Yeah, I didn’t get it fixed all the way. Killing and restarting when you get that error should get you past it. Sorry about that.

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@IamSamYes_Iam Not talking about the chatgpt plus. This app uses the API, so you need a payment method for API usage here https://t.co/As6Hqo5Lkv

It’s super cheap, so nothing like the $20/mo for plus.

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@IamSamYes_Iam Have you added a payment method to openai?

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@9to5mac @michaelpotuck Or…a $2.99 one-time purchase version. I don’t see the point of a subscription markup on the API price. https://t.co/woK6fhdmAT

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@michaelpotuck Hey Michael, I just saw your article on Petey for iPhone.

I made one that is pretty full-featured and just a one-time purchase of $2.99 for iPhone and iPad, (Mac is planned). https://t.co/woK6fhdmAT

[Philip Bassham @pbassham]

@langtind Are you on 1.3.1? That should help with some bugs if it’s the app’s fault.
