In plain English

Noi is a desktop application designed to make working with AI chat tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek less scattered and more organized. Instead of opening multiple browser tabs and losing track of conversations, Noi gives you a focused workspace where you can run several AI sessions side by side, keep them isolated from each other, and manage the prompts you use repeatedly. The app is built around a few core ideas. Sessions stay separate, so context from one conversation does not bleed into another. Your chat history, saved prompts, and settings are stored locally on your device rather than on an external server. There is a prompt management system for organizing and reusing templates across different workflows. The app also includes a built-in terminal for running local commands without switching to another application. A command-line tool called noi is included, which allows other developer tools such as Claude Code or similar AI coding assistants to control Noi directly. This makes it possible to connect your AI chat sessions with your broader development tooling. The project also supports multiple visual themes and offers multi-window management for running parallel workspaces. The README is brief and does not go into deep detail about how each feature works, but it lists these capabilities and links to a download page for the latest release. The README includes a short section in Chinese pointing domestic users toward a WeChat public account for community discussion. The project has a Discord server for English-speaking users. The source code is written in TypeScript and available on GitHub, though licensing details are not stated in the README.
