In the order I use them

Why each tool made the cut

  1. 01

    Cherry Studio

    Write

    “Create autonomous AI agents, chats, and custom prompts in one free, privacy-first desktop workspace.”

    Free and open source on Mac, Windows and Linux. You plug in your own AI keys or local models (like Ollama) and pay those providers directly, if at all.

  2. 02

    Ollama

    Coding

    “Swap it in for Cherry Studio when you want 100% private data: the AI models run on your own computer.”

    DeepSeek

    Write

    “Near-free, state-of-the-art AI reasoning for drafting, research, and coding without paying $20/mo SaaS markups.”

    Free: the DeepSeek chat app on the web and phone, with no paid plan. Its open models can also run free on your own computer. The API is pay as you go: V4.1 Flash is $0.30 per million tokens in and $1.20 out, half that off-peak.
