No cloud account needed. No API keys required to start (Ollama runs fully local). Add an OpenRouter key later for access to Claude, GPT, and other frontier models.

Bring Your Own Key

All tiers support your own OpenRouter API key. Use Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama — or run Ollama locally for zero API costs. No vendor lock-in. Your key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
