TypingMind is a polished interface for OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other AI APIs — you bring your own API keys. It adds features the official apps lack: conversation folders, custom system prompts, personas, plugins, web search, document upload, and chat export. Good for maintaining organized long-term AI conversations without a subscription to each provider’s native app.
