A cross-platform desktop client for multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Claude, Ollama, etc.) with a focus on privacy and local data storage.
Kaas is a desktop application that provides a unified interface for interacting with various large language model providers, including OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, Ollama, and Azure. It solves the problem of managing multiple AI model interfaces by offering a single, privacy-focused client that stores all user credentials and chat data locally on the device.
Developers, researchers, and general users who need to interact with multiple AI models from different providers and prioritize data privacy and local control over their chat history and API credentials.
Developers choose Kaas for its strong privacy-first approach with local data storage, cross-platform availability on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and its ability to connect to multiple providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible API through a single interface.

Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, providing a consistent experience across major desktop operating systems, listed explicitly in the features.
Supports OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible API, allowing users to manage multiple AI models from a single interface, with specific providers named.
Core built with Rust for high-speed execution and minimal client privileges, with permissions detailed in tauri.conf.json, as stated in the security feature.
Includes and allows creation of custom prompt templates like CoT or COSTAR, enhancing workflow efficiency, as highlighted in the prompt templates feature.
Key features such as Google Gemini integration, switching models in conversations, and full multilingual support are marked as 'work in progress' in the README, indicating they are not fully available.
No web or mobile versions available, restricting usage to desktop environments and requiring local installation, which limits accessibility from other devices.
Building from source requires installing Node.js, pnpm, and Rust, followed by multiple commands like 'pnpm i' and 'pnpm tauri build', which may be cumbersome for non-developers.
For online models, data is sent to provider APIs, and the app relies on these services, which might not suit fully offline or controlled environments, as noted in the privacy disclaimer.
