Type a model name or pick one from the fetched list, then click **Test Connection**. A provider that lists several models with no default starts on **Other…** with an empty **Model ID**, so pick one before saving.

Conversations save themselves and take their title from your first message. The ellipsis menu at the trailing end of the pane's header holds **New Conversation**, **Conversation History** with the current conversation ticked, and **Clear Recents**, which asks before it deletes every one of them. **File > Session** carries the same three, so they work with the pane closed and in [Agent mode](/features/agent-mode). Editing a message you already sent puts its text and attachments back in the composer and drops that turn and everything after it.

Paste or drag images into the composer on any provider that takes them, which is all of them except GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Claude Agent. On OpenRouter and Requesty the model decides: one the router lists as text-only takes no images. A drop that carries files the composer cannot read attaches the rest and says how many it kept.

The focused composer carries a colored highlight. Right-click it and turn **Highlight When Focused** off for the standard macOS focus ring instead. The choice is app-wide and survives restarts. Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast, both under **System Settings > Accessibility > Display**, also replace the highlight with the focus ring.

Safe Mode **Silent** auto-approves write tools and **Read-Only** auto-denies them. Destructive operations are the exception: `confirm_destructive_operation` always needs a click, Silent does not auto-approve it, **Always for this connection** is refused for it, and the model must pass the verbatim phrase `I understand this is irreversible`.

Every provider except Cursor can call tools. Claude Agent reaches them through the MCP server, so that has to be on, and local models depend on the model.

A reply pauses after 25 tool calls, keeps everything it has done, and offers **Continue** for a fresh budget or **Adjust Limit** to change the number, 5 to 200, under **Agent** in **Settings > AI**. Every call is another request with the schema attached, so a higher limit costs tokens.

Signing in to ChatGPT opens a second local listener on port 1455 for the OAuth redirect. It runs only during that sign-in and closes after it.

Two provider paths run a program rather than call an endpoint. **Claude Agent** runs the `claude` command line tool, which talks to Anthropic under your own subscription. **GitHub Copilot** downloads its language server from `registry.npmjs.org` on first use, and its provider sheet has **Send telemetry to GitHub**, which is on when you add the provider. Turning it off sets the language server's telemetry level to `off`.

The largest thing leaving your Mac is the traffic you asked for: the connection to your own server, plus whatever hops you configured, such as an SSH tunnel, a Cloudflare tunnel, a SOCKS proxy, or Cloud SQL Proxy. Cloud drivers reach their vendor's endpoint by design, so BigQuery talks to `bigquery.googleapis.com`, Spanner to `spanner.googleapis.com`, DynamoDB to AWS, and Microsoft Entra authentication to `login.microsoftonline.com`.

Two helpers download on first use, and each is verified before it runs: the Cloud SQL Proxy binary from `storage.googleapis.com` against a pinned SHA-256, and the Copilot language server tarball against the integrity hash npm publishes with it.
