## What it does

- **On your Mac, it stays there.** A workspace on your Mac keeps its data on your Mac.
- **Online for the whole team.** Open an online workspace in a browser or the Mac app, and on a Mac to work with local files.
- **Your own AI.** Connect an AI account you already have, or run models on your Mac with Ollama or LM Studio.
- **No markup, no credits.** Your provider bills you directly. Archon picks a model for each task and sells no credits.

## Questions

### Where does our data live?

A local workspace stays on your Mac. Online workspaces are hosted on our servers, or on yours by arrangement. Connected AI providers receive the information needed for each task.

### Do we need to buy AI credits?

No. Connect an API key, a subscription that permits use with Archon or a model on your Mac. Your provider bills you directly. Archon adds no markup. Cloud usage limits will be published before paid plans begin.

### Is there a phone app?

The iPhone app is coming soon. Until then, open Archon in your phone's browser and add it to your Home Screen: it opens like an app.
