Common questions

Still deciding? Here's what people usually ask first.

Do I have to pay for Yana AI Desktop?

The app itself is free and open source (Apache 2.0). You bring your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or a local model — you only pay the provider directly for what you actually use, at their normal rate. No subscription, no markup.

Is my data actually private?

The app runs entirely on your machine — no Yana AI server sits between you and your chosen provider. There's no analytics, no telemetry, and no conversation logging on our end. Since it's open source, you can read the code yourself instead of taking our word for it.

I don't have an API key — can I still use it?

Yes. Connect Ollama and run an open-weight model (Llama, Qwen, Mistral) fully offline, with no key and no cost. Cloud providers are optional, not required.

What does "multi-layer security" actually block?

58 runtime hooks and 9 gate layers check every action before and after it runs — things like prompt injection attempts, destructive shell commands, and secrets accidentally leaking into output. It's enforced code, not a policy document.
