Yes, fully free with no artificial limits on the core experience. You pay for the LLM API calls you make — billed directly by Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI at their rates. Quiddy takes no cut. Pro adds storage and memory upgrades for users who need more.
Two things: unlimited vault folders (Free is limited to 2), and permanent memory history (Free retains the last 30 days). Pro also includes priority email support and early access to new features as they ship.
No. The full app works completely offline and without any account. Every feature — SEEK personas, Knowledge Vault, memory, metrics, file attachments — is available locally from day one. An account is only needed for Pro.
Yes. Everything is stored locally on your Mac — conversations, memories, vault documents, and API keys. The only external calls the app makes are the LLM API requests you deliberately initiate. Quiddy has no visibility into your conversations.
It depends on usage and which models you choose. The Metrics panel in the app tracks every token and estimates cost. A typical day of heavy usage with Claude Sonnet runs $0.10–$0.50. You're in full control.
You'll see a prompt to upgrade when you try to create a third vault folder. Your existing data is never affected — Quiddy never deletes anything on a plan change.
