NaiveChat: Raycast AI Chat alternative for extreme efficiency

Meet NaïveChat, a hotkey-driven AI chat app, built for:
\- extreme efficiency,
\- intense models/prompts engineering.

NaiveChat with minimal UI

# The Beginning

The story goes like this: You love an app, it's the best in class, but you still feel unsatisfied in some aspects. Eventually, you decide to build a better version. Now you become a rival to the app you once loved.

That’s Raycast for me (the AI chat, not the launcher). The more I love it, the more those problems start to drive me insane. It’s like being haunted by what it could be.

# The Problems

Dark Mode. White text on black background, that's harsh. Especially when I open Raycast or Twitter in the night. It needs to be solved.
Hotkey. Change model, tune prompts, regenerate, these are high frequency operations when you do prompt engineering. Doing these in Raycast AI is painfully slow, although it's an app famous for its hotkey launcher.
Branched chat. Most AI chat apps make a copy of the original conversation, mess history with duplicated items. This way, I think is WRONG. Wrong model for conversation exploration. Conversations are not duplicated chats, they are mind maps.

# Introducing NaïveChat

Hotkey driven: - Cover all high frequency operations, designed with seamless workflows in mind. - Follows conventions, like H/J/K/L in map navigation, ctrl+up/down for list selection. - Intuitive defaults and customizable.
Branch Map: the mind map of conversation, you may navigate and switch active branch in it.
Screenshot & sharing: capture full conversation or mobile view, for sharing purpose.
Minimal UI: minimal means barely nothing on the UI. Most features hidden behind hotkeys. And there's a Zen mode to push it to the extreme.

Workflows with NaïveChat:

Switch model (⌘L), retry generation (⌘R). Because models vary in different jobs, even prompts:
Edit system prompt (⌘L), save (⌘S), retry. Fine-tuning system prompt in NaïveChat feels like a chef smile.
Explore different directions, iterations, have them organized in whole. AFAIK, no other chat app make it a mind map (⌘J) like NaïveChat. Iteration on image generation feels even better than ChatGPT app.

Give it a try, I'm sure you won't regret. Let me know what you think.

If you could recommend only ONE MacOS app to someone?

Hi! I always find so many great apps because of your posts. Thanks! So, I've wanted to ask this for a long time.

If you have to choose just ONE MacOS app to recommend, what would it be? For me... it's really hard to choose, but maybe PopClip?

It's a famous app, but let me explain. When you select text, a small popup appears. You can copy, change uppercase/lowercase, or send the text to other apps like Notes or a translator. I write a lot for my work, so I can't live without it! Please tell me your favorite apps, everyone in this sub!
