FAQ

Do I need an account to use Elvean?

No. Download, open, and start chatting. No sign-up or email required. If you use cloud models like Claude or GPT, you'll need your own API key.

Can I use Elvean completely offline?

Yes. Connect Ollama, LM Studio, or MLX and everything runs locally on your Mac. No internet needed, no data leaves your machine.

What does bring your own key mean?

You use your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc. You pay providers directly at their rates with no markup. Keys are stored in macOS Keychain.

How is Elvean different from ChatGPT or Claude Desktop?

Those apps lock you into one provider. Elvean lets you use every model in one place — switch mid-conversation with @mentions, fork threads, render charts and maps, and edit responses in markdown.

Is my data private?

Elvean collects nothing. No telemetry, no analytics, no conversation history on servers. Local models are fully offline. API keys live in your macOS Keychain.

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free gives you unlimited conversations with any model. Pro unlocks web search, charts, diagrams, threads, markdown editing, MCP servers, and exports. Both monthly and annual plans include a 7-day free trial.
