We are launching the Cherry Studio Developer Co-creation Program to foster a healthy and positive-feedback loop within the open-source ecosystem. We believe that great software is built collaboratively, and every merged pull request breathes new life into the project.
We sincerely invite you to join our ranks of contributors and shape the future of Cherry Studio with us.
Contributor Rewards Program
To give back to our core contributors and create a virtuous cycle, we have established the following long-term incentive plan.
The inaugural tracking period for this program will be Q3 2025 (July, August, September). Rewards for this cycle will be distributed on October 1st.
Within any tracking period (e.g., July 1st to September 30th for the first cycle), any developer who contributes more than 30 meaningful commits to any of Cherry Studio's open-source projects on GitHub will be eligible for the following benefits:
Cursor Subscription Sponsorship: Receive a $70 USD credit or reimbursement for your Cursor subscription, making AI your most efficient coding partner.
Unlimited Model Access: Get unlimited API calls for the DeepSeek and Qwen models.
Cutting-Edge Tech Access: Enjoy occasional perks, including API access to models like Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI, keeping you at the forefront of technology.
Growing Together & Future Plans
A vibrant community is the driving force behind any sustainable open-source project. As Cherry Studio grows, so will our rewards program. We are committed to continuously aligning our benefits with the best-in-class tools and resources in the industry. This ensures our core contributors receive meaningful support, creating a positive cycle where developers, the community, and the project grow together.
Moving forward, the project will also embrace an increasingly open stance to give back to the entire open-source community.
How to Get Started?
We look forward to your first Pull Request!
You can start by exploring our repositories, picking up a good first issue, or proposing your own enhancements. Every commit is a testament to the spirit of open source.
Thank you for your interest and contributions.
Let's build together.
🏢 Enterprise Edition
Building on the Community Edition, we are proud to introduce Cherry Studio Enterprise Edition—a privately-deployable AI productivity and management platform designed for modern teams and enterprises.
The Enterprise Edition addresses core challenges in team collaboration by centralizing the management of AI resources, knowledge, and data. It empowers organizations to enhance efficiency, foster innovation, and ensure compliance, all while maintaining 100% control over their data in a secure environment.
Core Advantages
Unified Model Management: Centrally integrate and manage various cloud-based LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini) and locally deployed private models. Employees can use them out-of-the-box without individual configuration.
Enterprise-Grade Knowledge Base: Build, manage, and share team-wide knowledge bases. Ensures knowledge retention and consistency, enabling team members to interact with AI based on unified and accurate information.
Fine-Grained Access Control: Easily manage employee accounts and assign role-based permissions for different models, knowledge bases, and features through a unified admin backend.
Fully Private Deployment: Deploy the entire backend service on your on-premises servers or private cloud, ensuring your data remains 100% private and under your control to meet the strictest security and compliance standards.
Reliable Backend Services: Provides stable API services and enterprise-grade data backup and recovery mechanisms to ensure business continuity.

What is this?Cherry Studio is a desktop AI client that gives you one app to chat with many LLM providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Claude, Perplexity, Poe) or run local models via Ollama/LM Studio, plus 300+ ready-made assistants and MCP server support.
Is this a simple chat app, or more of an AI workspace?It is more of an AI productivity workspace than a plain chat window: besides multi-model conversations it bundles 300+ assistants, document/PDF processing, Mermaid chart rendering, a topic manager, global search, and an MCP server for extending tools.
How do I get it running?Download the Windows, Mac, or Linux build from the project's releases and install it directly — there's no environment or dependency setup required before you can start chatting.
Do I need API keys for the LLM providers?For cloud providers like OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic you need your own API key or account; if you'd rather avoid that, Cherry Studio also connects to local models through Ollama or LM Studio.
Is it free to use, even commercially?The Community Edition is free and AGPL-3.0 licensed, and commercial use is allowed as long as you comply with AGPL-3.0; if you need an exemption from those terms (e.g. to keep modifications closed), a paid commercial license or the Enterprise Edition is available.
What can the MCP integration do?Cherry Studio can act as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) client so assistants can call external MCP servers and tools, with an MCP marketplace listed on the roadmap.
What file types can it process?It supports text, images, Office documents, and PDFs, and can back up or restore your data via WebDAV.
What does the Enterprise Edition add over the free version?The Enterprise Edition adds employee management, a shared knowledge base, access control, and dedicated private deployment on top of the free Community Edition.
Can I compare responses from different models at once?Yes, Cherry Studio supports multi-model simultaneous conversations so you can see how different providers answer the same prompt side by side.
