BoltAI
A native macOS AI assistant that runs on your own key with any OpenAI-compatible service.
What BoltAI is
BoltAI is a native macOS AI assistant. It brings AI into the menu bar and into any app with inline commands, all on your own API key. By adding TokenMix as a custom OpenAI-compatible service, you can use Claude, GPT or DeepSeek across your Mac.
Before you start
- Install BoltAI from boltai.com. It runs on macOS.
- Sign up at tokenmix.ai, open the Console, go to API Keys, and create a key that starts with sk-tm-.
Connect TokenMix
BoltAI's endpoint field wants the full chat-completions URL, not just /v1.
- Open Settings, go to Models, click the plus button, and choose OpenAI-compatible Server.
- Friendly Name: enter TokenMix.
- Chat Completions Endpoint: enter https://api.tokenmix.ai/v1/chat/completions, the full path, not just /v1.
- API Key: paste your sk-tm- key.
- Model ID: enter a TokenMix model id, for example claude-sonnet-4.6.
- Context Length: set it to the model's context window. Turn on streaming, then click Save Changes.
Check it works
Open a chat in BoltAI, pick your TokenMix model, and send a short message. A reply means it is connected. You can see the spend in the TokenMix Console.
Common questions
No reply or an error: the endpoint must be the full https://api.tokenmix.ai/v1/chat/completions. A plain /v1 will not work with BoltAI.
Set it as default: if you do not plan to use OpenAI directly, mark the TokenMix service as default so BoltAI uses it everywhere.
Which models to pick: any text model works. Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.4 are good starting points.
