Common questions

Short answers about cost, privacy, models, servers and safety.

Is InkBot free?

The Windows app is free. You pay your model providers as usual (or use the plans and local models you already have). InkBot Server is a one-time purchase; see pricing.

Which models can I use?

Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, MiniMax and hundreds more through OpenRouter, with API keys; your Claude, ChatGPT, SuperGrok, Cursor and Kimi plans through their own agent apps; OpenCode with any model; and open models on your own GPU through Local models, Ollama or Unsloth Studio. See Providers and models.

Does my data leave my PC?

Your messages go to the model provider you chose, and to the services your plugins connect to. Chats, files and settings stay on your PC (or your server). With a local model, nothing leaves the machine.

Can a bot delete my files?

Only if you let it. In Ask for approval mode it asks before changing anything, and anything outside the workspace always asks unless you choose Full access. Every reply that changes files has an Undo. See Approvals and Changes.

Where are my API keys and passwords?

In Windows Credential Manager on your PC, or encrypted in a server's data folder. They're never shown to a model and never written into exports.

Do I need a server?

No. Bots run on your PC, and with Run in the tray on they keep going while the window is closed. A server is for when they should keep working while your PC is off.

Is there a Mac or Linux app?

The app is for Windows 10 (1809 or later) and 11. InkBot Server runs on Linux (Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora).

Can I script InkBot?

Yes. An InkBot server has an HTTP API that covers everything the app does: see the API reference. Webhook triggers start a bot from any app.
