Does Cue run locally?
Yes. Cue was designed local-first for Apple Silicon Macs. Local AI, local retrieval, and local memory help Cue stay fast, responsive, and privacy-conscious.
Do I need a cloud AI provider?
No. Cue works locally first. Cloud AI is optional and only needed when you want deeper reasoning or broader intelligence.
Which AI providers does Cue support?
Cue can optionally connect to:
- OpenAI
- Claude
- Gemini
- Kimi
- DeepSeek
- OpenRouter
More providers may be added over time.
Where are my API keys stored?
Your provider keys are stored locally on your Mac and are never sent to Cue servers.
Why does Cue support cloud AI?
Local intelligence is fast and privacy-conscious. Cloud models can optionally provide deeper reasoning, richer synthesis, and broader knowledge when needed.
Does Cue require a subscription?
No. Cue is a one-time purchase. You optionally connect your own AI providers directly if you choose to use cloud intelligence.
Why is Cue local-first?
Conversations happen in realtime. Cue was architected local-first so guidance feels immediate, lightweight, and always available.
