BYOK — Bring Your Own Key
Your AI provider. Your key. Your terms. Full control over how your text is processed.
When to use
When you already pay for an AI provider and do not want a second subscription. When you want full control over which model processes your text. When privacy and cost transparency matter.
Before & after
Before
“Using the managed AI service means your text goes through the keyboard maker's provider at their rates and under their terms.”
After
“With BYOK, your API key is stored in Apple Keychain. Requests go to your provider at your rates. You choose the model. You control the billing. No additional third party involved.”
Benefits
- 1Store your key securely in Apple Keychain, not on QKeyboard servers
- 2Choose your provider and model for each rewrite
- 3Pay your provider directly — no second subscription needed
- 4Switch between BYOK and managed AI anytime without losing your key
