Vinaa is a native Mac app for chatting with AI, organizing conversations, and working with different AI providers in one place.

What you can do with Vinaa

Use Vinaa to:

  • Chat with cloud or local AI models.

  • Switch models without changing apps.

  • Organize conversations into projects and folders.

  • Attach images, PDFs, documents, and code files.

  • Let supported models search the web or use other tools.

  • Save prompts you use often.

  • Import conversations from ChatGPT or Claude.

  • Export a conversation as Markdown or PDF.

  • Sync your Vinaa data between Macs with iCloud.

Bring your own AI

Vinaa does not lock your conversations to one provider. You can connect services such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral AI, xAI, and DeepSeek. You can also use local models through Ollama or LM Studio, or use your ChatGPT subscription through Codex CLI.

The models, attachments, reasoning controls, and tools available in a chat depend on the connection and model you choose.

A workspace built around chat

Chat is the main part of Vinaa. Extra controls appear when you need them, so a simple conversation stays simple while more advanced workflows can use files, tools, projects, and reusable prompts.

If you are new to AI apps, start with Set up Vinaa for the first time and Start your first chat. If you already use several AI providers, continue with Connect an AI provider and Choose a model for a chat.
