Have you considered making a version that is packaged as a desktop app?

We have! Likely not for a while, since we want to focus on the web app for a bit more. But long term that would be the plan.

Things like shortcuts to access the chat + ability to reach into the local file system are very compelling.

Cherry Studio is my daily go-to, I hope Onyx deskktop can be a great alternative for personal users who just want a dedicated app to access any LLMs with full power of MCP and various tools
What is the use case for a desktop app? Just local storage or using local compute for RAG? or perhaps privacy?
