Cherry Studio

Cherry Studio is a powerful, free, and open-source multi-model AI client for the desktop. It runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and its central promise is to bring the fragmented world of AI models into a single, well-designed application. Instead of juggling separate tabs for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and local models, Cherry Studio lets you access more than 300 models from many providers through one consistent interface — bringing your own API keys and switching between models freely within a conversation. Beyond multi-model chat, Cherry Studio is a full-featured AI workspace. It supports knowledge bases (so you can ground answers in your own documents), AI image generation, translation, and a plugin system that includes automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech. It also integrates the Model Context Protocol, which connects it to external tools and data sources, and offers a selection assistant, document preprocessing, multi-window support with pinning, and an Intel-architecture build. A HarmonyOS edition and Android/iOS apps extend the experience to more devices. The product has resonated strongly with users who want a single, private, model-agnostic client rather than being locked into one provider's app — accumulating a large community (tens of thousands of GitHub stars). Because you bring your own keys and can run local models, it offers a level of privacy and cost control that browser-based, hosted clients cannot. Cherry Studio is aimed at power users, developers, and anyone who regularly works across multiple AI models and wants one polished, open-source desktop app to unify them.
