More AI documentation

Install the desktop app, connect your keys and understand when optional cloud features come into play.

Updated October 20, 2026

Overview

More AI is a free desktop app with one Home for conversations, files and projects, a Code workspace and a built-in browser. Version 0.1.50 adds browser-data import and Library interfaces. Cloud storage access is being opened gradually; connected Google Drive is a separate source.

An account is optional for local desktop use. Sign in for supported cloud execution or sync, web and mobile access, and any pooled allowance granted to the account. A cloud subscription pays for hosted execution and access, not tokens; BYOK usage stays at your provider’s price.

Overview

By task

  • Installation — Download and install the desktop app on macOS, Windows or Linux, and get past the system’s warning on first launch.
  • Connect your keys — Add an API key from your model provider, choose a default model and start the first conversation.
  • Models & providers — Which providers work with More AI, how to pick a model for each conversation and how to run a local one.
  • Privacy & data — What keeps a local copy, what goes to your model provider and which telemetry you can turn off.
  • Sync & your account — When you need an account, how the emailed-code sign-in works and what sync brings to the web and your phone.
  • Updates — How the app updates itself and what happens when the main download server can’t be reached.
  • Troubleshooting — Fixes for a blocked first launch on macOS or Windows, API key errors and download links that don’t work.
  • FAQ — Short answers on price, accounts, where your data is kept and which providers are supported.
  • More AI Code in the terminal — More AI Code is the same agent as a command-line tool, published on npm as a beta. It needs Node.js 22 or newer on macOS, Linux or Windows and shares its engine with the desktop app.
