Good to know
What's included in the free trial?
Two weeks of full access, including all tools, plugins, and iOS Relay. No credit card required. When the trial ends, it drops to the free version unless you purchase a license.
What is iOS Relay?
iOS Relay lets the Cogitae iPhone or iPad app connect to your Mac over the internet with end-to-end encryption. Local network access over Bonjour still works without it. Relay is included during the trial and for 30 days after purchase, then it is $5/month.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email us within 14 days of purchase with your license key for a full refund, no questions asked. See the refund terms.
Do I need my own API keys?
Yes. Bring your own keys from providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and others. You pay providers directly, with no markup from us.
What provider do you recommend?
Start with one strong everyday model, then add others as needed for comparison, specialization, or cost. Cogitae works best when you can choose the right model for the task.
What happens after purchase?
Your license key is delivered by email right away. Enter it in Cogitae to unlock the full version, including one month of iOS Relay.
What about my privacy?
Your conversations stay on your device and go directly to the AI providers you configure. For licensing, we store your license key and a secure cryptographic hash of your email, never the address itself. We do not store your IP address. See the privacy policy for details.
What if I lose my license key?
Visit the Support page to recover it. Be sure to remember the exact email address you used, because recovery depends on matching the cryptographic hash of that email.
