About Cherry Studio
Cherry Studio is a desktop client for working with multiple large language model providers, available for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is written in TypeScript and licensed under AGPL-3.0, and it is described as an AI productivity studio offering chat, autonomous agents and a large library of ready-made assistants.
It can connect to major cloud LLM services such as OpenAI, Gemini and Anthropic, to AI web services like Claude, Perplexity and Poe, and to local models through Ollama and LM Studio. Conversations can involve several models at once, and users can pick from more than 300 preconfigured assistants or create their own.
Other tools include handling of text, images, Office files and PDFs, WebDAV backup, Mermaid chart rendering, code highlighting, global search, topic management, AI translation, mini programs and an MCP server. Themes and complete Markdown rendering are included, and no environment setup is needed. It suits individuals who want one desktop app for many models.
