You don't need a key to start
teemd runs Claude Code and Codex on your own sign-ins, and open-weight models on your own Ollama. No API key is needed for any of these.

Where keys are kept
If you add an Anthropic or OpenAI API key, it is stored only on your computer, encrypted with Windows' protection for your user account. It is never sent to teemd's servers, and we cannot see it.
How keys are used
In this version of teemd, keys you add are stored but not yet used for any model calls. If a later version uses them, we will update this page before it does. When a key is used, the calls go from your computer straight to that provider, and the provider bills you under your agreement with them.
Removing a key
You can remove a stored key in teemd at any time. Uninstalling teemd keeps your settings, including keys, unless you choose to remove them.
Ollama
teemd does not store an Ollama key. It connects to the Ollama running on your computer, and you sign in to Ollama in Ollama itself.
