About Warden
Warden talks to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity, OpenRouter and other providers with your own API keys, and to local models served by Ollama or LM Studio. Conversations stay on the Mac except for the requests sent to the chosen provider, and they can be organized into projects with their own instructions or handled by custom assistants with preset roles.
You can drop in PDFs, CSV and text files to ask about them, compare answers from up to three models in a beta mode, run web searches with citations, and enable tools or MCP agents per message. The app is written in SwiftUI with quick access from the menu bar; releases are on GitHub and the developer's Homebrew tap.
