Use the model selector at the bottom of the chat input. You can change models mid-conversation — no restart needed.

API keys are stored in your operating system’s native credential manager:

Platform	Storage
macOS	Keychain Access
Windows	Windows Credential Manager
Linux	Secret Service (GNOME Keyring / KDE Wallet)

Keys never touch the filesystem in plaintext. They survive app reinstalls and ~/.ori/ deletion.
