totec448-spec/chat-on-steroids is an open-source workspace that connects ChatGPT to local files, terminals, and testing tools via MCP and a browser extension. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, letting multiple background workers edit code and run tests simultaneously while sharing your standard ChatGPT conversation limits. The system relies on your existing ChatGPT account and developer mode rather than invoking an independent API directly.
If you routinely juggle multiple terminal windows and want a local orchestrator to handle multi-file edits through your browser session, it saves manual context switching. The catch is that it is an unsigned beta touching your local shell with user-level privileges, and it sits precariously on top of OpenAI browser automation that could break with any interface update. Skip it if you require stable enterprise tooling or want to avoid juggling local security permissions for an unverified desktop app.
