AI chat with your own key
Streaming AI chat with your own OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or Grok key, or a local model.
What it is
Streaming AI chat inside Supermac, using your own key. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini or xAI Grok with your own API key, or run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio. Your key, your billing, your data.
How to use it
Open Supermac and open the AI Chat dialog (default hotkey: alt+c, or pick it from the command palette with meta+k).
Add a provider in the AI settings: paste your API key and pick a model.
For a local model, choose Ollama or LM Studio instead of a cloud provider. No API key is needed — the model runs on your Mac.
Type your message and the answer streams in. Start a new chat any time to change topic.
Notes
AI chat needs a provider connected with your own API key, or a local model. There is no bundled AI subscription.
On macOS 26 and later, Translator runs fully on-device. On earlier versions it translates through your AI model.
Coming in 1.x, included: an API and MCP server.
