Ori is configured through the Settings view (⌘ ,) in the app. You can also edit ~/.ori/config.json directly.

API keys
API keys are stored in your OS credential manager — not in config.json or any file:
- macOS: Keychain Access (service: “Ori”)
- Windows: Windows Credential Manager (target: “Ori/provider”)
- Linux: Secret Service / GNOME Keyring (service: “Ori”)
Manage keys through Settings or your OS credential manager app.
All data is portable. Copy ~/.ori/ to a new machine and everything transfers. API keys will need to be re-entered since they’re stored in the OS credential manager.
