Bring your own key (BYOK)

Ripple stores credentials only on your device. When you distill, your text is sent to the provider you choose, using your key and quota.

Choose a provider in Settings

Open Ripple → Settings (gear) → pick:

• Google Gemini — default; uses a Gemini API key.
• OpenAI-compatible — any endpoint that supports /v1/chat/completions (OpenAI, DeepSeek, many others).

Option A — Google Gemini

1. Visit Google AI Studio → API keys.
2. Create and copy an API key.
3. In Ripple Settings, select Gemini, paste the key, tap Save.

Option B — OpenAI-compatible API

1. Get an API key from your provider (examples below).
2. In Settings, select OpenAI-compatible.
3. Enter Base URL (must resolve to …/v1/chat/completions — Ripple adds /v1 if missing).
4. Enter Model name exactly as your provider documents.
5. Paste API key → Save.

Provider	Base URL	Example model
OpenAI	https://api.openai.com/v1	gpt-4o-mini
DeepSeek	https://api.deepseek.com/v1	deepseek-chat

Billing is between you and the provider. Ripple does not charge a subscription for distillation.

Security

• Do not share keys in chat or screenshots.
• Rotate keys if you suspect a leak.
