Temporary AI (Private ChatGPT & Gemini)

中文文档

A native macOS application based on SwiftUI + WKWebView, designed for a privacy-first AI chat experience. It enforces "Temporary Chat" mode for AI services and actively blocks access to history, ensuring your conversations are "burn after reading."

Core Features

• Privacy First:
  • Enforces https://chatgpt.com/?temporary-chat=true and Gemini's temporary mode.
  • Automatically blocks history pages (/c/*), sharing links, and non-whitelisted domains.
  • Incognito Mode: Supports non-persistent storage configuration (similar to a browser's incognito mode).
• Multi-Tab Management:
  • Open multiple ChatGPT or Gemini tabs simultaneously and manage them independently.
  • Sidebar-style tab switching, optimized for desktop usage.
• Clean Interface:
  • Injects JavaScript/CSS to automatically hide the original website's sidebar, history list, and other distractions.
  • Provides a native macOS toolbar: Refresh, Home, and Force New Chat.
• Secure Navigation Engine:
  • Built-in NavigationPolicyEngine strictly controls page navigation.
  • Clicking external links (e.g., search citations) triggers a native macOS confirmation prompt to prevent accidental exits.

📥 Installation

Option 1: Build from Source (Recommended)

This is a standard Swift Package Manager (SPM) project.

Requirements:

• macOS 13.0+
• Xcode 15+ (or Swift 5.9+ toolchain installed)

Steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Private-ChatGPT.git
   cd Private-ChatGPT

2. Build the app using the included script (handles icons and directory structure):

   chmod +x build_app.sh
   ./build_app.sh

3. Once built, TemporaryAI.app (or Chinese name 临时AI.app) will be generated in the build/ directory. Drag it to your "Applications" folder.

Option 2: Xcode Debugging

1. Open the project by double-clicking Package.swift or running xed . in the terminal.
2. Select the TemporaryAI scheme from the top bar.
3. Configure Signing & Capabilities (select your Team).
4. Click Run (Cmd + R).

⚙️ Configuration & Custom Scripts

This project includes open-source default scripts that hide the sidebar and enforce temporary session behavior.

How to Customize the Scripts?

In the Sources/Resources/ directory, you will find:

• chatgpt_default_script.js
• gemini_default_script.js

By default the app loads these scripts automatically. You can:

1. Edit Local Files (Recommended for Developers): Modify the files above to adjust DOM behavior (e.g., document.querySelector('...').style.display = 'none').

2. Configure in App Settings (Recommended for Users): Launch the App, click the gear icon in the top right to enter Settings -> Scripts.

   • You can paste your JavaScript code directly here.
   • Scripts in Settings take precedence over local files.

🛠 Tech Stack

• UI Framework: SwiftUI (AppKit Lifecycle)
• Web Kernel: WKWebView + UserScripts (JS Injection)
• Architecture: MVVM
• Key Modules:
  • NavigationPolicyEngine: Decides whether each URL navigation is Allowed, Blocked, or Redirected.
  • UserScriptManager: Manages CSS/JS injection.
  • TabManager: Manages multi-tab state.
