Connect your LLM.
Apiary is the substrate; the inference is yours. Paste your endpoint + key once, test the connection, and the rest of Apiary lights up. Everything stays in this browser. If you ever want to revoke, just hit Clear.
Connect your LLM (your AI brain — Claude, ChatGPT, Ollama, etc.)
Apiary is BYO-brain. Paste your endpoint + key once — they live in this browser only. Apiary's servers never see your credentials and Apiary makes zero AI calls without them.
New to LLMs? An LLM is the AI model that does the thinking (Claude, GPT, local Ollama, etc.). You sign up with one of those providers, get an API key, paste it here, done. Apiary uses YOUR connection — you pay your provider directly, never Apiary.
Why BYO-LLM? Apiary is meant to run for years on your own substrate. Hard-coding a provider would mean rate limits, bill shock, and a single point of failure. Bring your own brain — switch providers anytime by editing this panel.
Privacy posture
- ▸Your key lives in localStorageon this device only. It is never transmitted to Apiary's server.
- ▸All LLM calls happen directly from your browser to the endpoint you configured.
- ▸Apiary makes zero outbound LLM calls server-side. There are no fallback keys, no proxies, no environment-variable defaults.
- ▸For provider CORS notes (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama), see your provider's docs.
What Apiary shows you
Apiary defaults to transparency — you see what it's doing, what it found, what it saved. Turn any of these off if a surface gets noisy. Your call, every time.
- Savings tickerLive token-savings strip inside the HUD. Closes for the session via × on the strip itself.
- Live activity line on HUDThe 'Now: …' status line on the HUD panel.
- Milestone celebrationsBrief honey-pulse on 100 / 1k / 10k saved-token milestones.
- Knowledge Keeper toastsBrief '📚 Logged a lesson' confirmation when a new insight is captured.
Log retention
Apiary's logs follow a human-memory model: working → short-term → recent → long-term. v0.3 ships the controls; the nightly auto-cron lands in v0.4. Trigger consolidations manually here when you want them to run.
Wipe all Apiary state
Clears every apiary.*key in this browser's localStorage — your saved LLM config, personalization, and paused/active state. The on-disk markdown substrate (sample-hive/, brain/) is untouched.
Requires three confirmations including typing WIPE APIARY exactly.
