Typing Mind

TypingMind is a chat interface that runs on top of API keys you supply, so one workspace can call OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other providers. Instead of a monthly assistant subscription, you buy a lifetime license and pay each model provider for the tokens you use. The app keeps chats and keys in your browser by default, adds folders, projects, agents, and plugins, and offers a cloud sync option for moving between devices.

Key Features

• One chat interface for many providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and custom endpoints.
• Bring-your-own-key billing, with no monthly fee from TypingMind itself.
• Local-first storage, with optional cloud sync and password-encrypted API keys.
• Project folders, tags, pinned chats, search, and forked conversation threads.
• An agent builder with 50+ pre-built agents, prompts, and custom plugins.
• Model Context Protocol connectors, a plugin marketplace, and a knowledge base for retrieval.
• Artifacts, Canvas, web search, voice input, text-to-speech, and parallel model chats.

Who is it for

• People who already pay for model APIs and want a stronger front end.
• Developers and power users who switch between providers.
• Writers and researchers who want projects, documents, and prompts in one place.
• Small teams that need a private workspace they can self-host.
• Privacy-focused users who prefer local storage over a hosted assistant.

FAQ

Do I need a ChatGPT Plus subscription?

No. TypingMind uses API keys, so you pay the model provider for tokens instead of buying a chat subscription. A ChatGPT Plus plan is not required.

Is the license a subscription?

No. The Standard, Extended, and Premium licenses are one-time purchases, and the pricing page says there is no renewal. API usage is billed separately by each provider.

Where are my chats stored?

Chats and keys are stored locally in your browser by default. Cloud sync is optional, and API keys can be encrypted with a password.

Can I use my own models or endpoints?

Yes. The app supports custom models, custom endpoints and proxies, and self-hosting for teams in addition to the named providers.

What does the free trial include?

The free trial lets you try the interface before buying a license, with some premium features locked until a license key is entered.
