Full vs Cloud

Two ways to run ARIL: a native Mac app with local tools, or a browser workspace with encrypted projects and Talk. Both use bring-your-own keys — we never bill model usage for you.

What both products share

  • Bring your own key — OpenRouter for chat routing; optional OpenAI / xAI for voice
  • Modes — Auto, Manual, and Judge-style model choice
  • Projects — attach documents so answers can use your files
  • Cost awareness — transparent usage where the provider exposes it
  • No install lock-in — use Full on Mac, Cloud from any modern browser, or both
