A simple application (built with Electron) that loads the ChatGPT website and can be toggled using a global hotkey for easy access. The app supports persistent sessions (cookies and local storage) so that users remain logged in or remembered between sessions.
NOTE: the app stores any cookies or private data only locally, on your own computer or on the OpenAI servers (accordingly with their modus operandi).
This app is intended for those who don't have an Apple Silicon device (as the official ChatGPT app is intended only for those with Apple Silicon (M1 or better) devices).

⌥ (Option) + Space). - System Tray Support - Minimizes to tray instead of quitting
