What is Bring your own key (BYOK)?
Bring-your-own-key means an app uses your own API key for a service, so you pay the provider directly and control the account instead of the app reselling access.

- Apple Silicon, macOS 13 or later
In depth
What it means
For AI apps it also means your data goes only to the provider you chose, on your terms, with no vendor middle-layer retaining it.
Humla is BYOK: plug in your own OpenAI, Deepgram, or Groq key — or skip cloud entirely and run on-device — so nothing is bundled through a vendor's servers.
