Nextchat

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

NextChat (originally ChatGPT-Next-Web) is the most-starred LLM chat UI on GitHub — clean ChatGPT-style interface that talks to any LLM provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, Mistral, custom. Stateless, no DB, fast.

What it's for

  • Personal ChatGPT replacement — bring your own API key
  • Family / team ChatGPT — share a single instance via access code
  • Multi-provider chat — switch models in same conversation
  • Privacy-first AI — chat data lives in your browser localStorage
  • Cheap shared AI access — one OpenAI key, many users

Who it's for

  • Privacy-conscious individuals rejecting ChatGPT subscription
  • Families sharing AI access cheaply
  • Small teams needing ChatGPT functionality
  • Developers experimenting with multiple LLM providers
  • Educators giving students AI access via shared access code

Tips & operations

  • Access code required — auto-generated in install; share with users
  • No persistent storage — chats live in user browser; clearing browser = losing history
  • API keys in URL params unsafe — use env vars in container instead
  • Set CUSTOM_MODELS to limit available models (cost control)
  • Pair with Ollama for fully local AI
  • PWA install — Settings → install app for native-feel
