Good to Know

  • Your API key is stored only on your device (Keychain) and never sent to our servers
  • Gemini API includes a free tier that's more than enough for personal use
  • To remove your key, tap "Delete" in the same settings section
  • Translation, transcription, and recording work without an API key
