Bring your own key
Your memory system.
Your key. Your machine.
The lab calls Claude directly from your browser using your own Anthropic key. The key never touches a chanio server. Your archive lives in this browser only. The model is rented. The mind is yours.
Don't want a key? You don't need one. Set it up on your Mac — it works with the AI you already pay for — or read the plan for Apple Intelligence: one step tested on a Mac so far, iPhone next. This Lab is only for power users who want chanio to run the model itself.
Bounded exposure. When you create a key at console.anthropic.com/settings/keys, set a spending cap on it. Worst case, that cap is your total exposure.
