BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
A few useful details.
Which macOS download should I choose?
Open the Apple menu and select About This Mac. If it lists an Apple M-series chip, choose Apple Silicon. If it lists an Intel processor, choose Intel.
Do I need an API key?
Hosted providers generally require an API key and may charge for usage. You can also connect a local vision model through Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Automatic extraction is off until you enable it.
