About

ChatGPT Desktop wraps the ChatGPT web app in a Linux-friendly Electron shell with saved settings, tray integration when available, keyboard-driven navigation, and user customization hooks. The Flatpak build keeps configuration, data, and cache files inside the sandbox-managed XDG directories while using desktop portals for host integration where available.
