Questions, answered.

Does it really work in any app?

Anywhere the macOS Accessibility API can read a text selection — which covers virtually every native and browser app. For Electron apps that don't expose text nodes, WunderType falls back to simulated copy/paste and restores your clipboard afterward.

Is Ollama really free?+

Yes. Ollama is free, open-source, and runs entirely on your Mac. WunderType talks to it at localhost:11434. No usage caps, no API key, no account.

What about OpenAI / OpenRouter costs?+

You bring your own API key; WunderType has no intermediary server. You're billed directly by OpenAI or OpenRouter for whichever model you pick.

Can I use multiple providers?+

Yes. Set a default, then override per prompt. Some users run grammar on local Ollama and reserve OpenAI for heavier rewrites.

Where is my API key stored?+

Inside the macOS Keychain — encrypted at rest, never in UserDefaults, never in a plain file, never synced by us.

Will it slow my Mac down?+

No. WunderType is a sandboxed menu-bar agent under 5 MB with no background daemons. It only wakes when you press a shortcut.
