TypingMind
Bring-your-own-key LLM frontend with 15+ providers, parallel chats, and custom agents.
About
TypingMind is an indie-built chat frontend for large language models, made by Tony Dinh. You bring your own API keys, and it gives you a polished interface across more than 15 providers, parallel chats, MCP support, and a library of over 50 pre-built custom agents plus your own creations.
Its distinctive angle is licensing: a one-time purchase rather than a subscription, which appeals to people who already pay for model API usage and want a stable, feature-rich client. It is a client app, not a model provider, so you are still paying the underlying providers for tokens.
What it can do
- Chat UI across 15+ LLM providers
- Parallel chats and custom agents
- 50+ pre-built agents plus custom agent builder

Setup
Buy a license, install the app or open the web client, and add your provider API keys.
