First-class setup and model discovery for local inference servers, plus hosted providers, custom endpoints, and MCP servers. The installer can also wire up local search, playback, and dictation—no extra integrations or API keys to stitch together.
Connect your coding agents on your server or over SSH. Start or resume sessions, follow plans and tool calls as they happen, review changes, and steer the agent without living in a terminal.
Open WebUI is an impressive project with a huge feature surface. OvertChat is deliberately more focused: a fast chat experience, practical built-ins, and coding-agent control without turning your server into a platform to maintain.
- Fast by default. A clean interface that stays out of the conversation.
- Simple to run. Guided setup, one-command updates, and portable data.
If you want a large plugin ecosystem, image generation, knowledge graphs, or a code interpreter, Open WebUI or LibreChat may be a better fit. If you want a focused self-hosted home for chat and coding agents, that is what OvertChat is built for.
Connect the native Android app to your OvertChat server and take your chats with you. Your history, projects, files, web search, and voice tools come along.
