Cherry Studio

All-in-one AI desktop client supporting 300+ models and providers

Introduction

Cherry Studio is a free, open-source desktop AI client (AGPL-3.0) for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports both OpenAI-compatible APIs and Anthropic's native API, making it a perfect fit for TokenMix. You can add TokenMix as a model provider in minutes and start chatting with Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, and more from one unified interface.

Prerequisites

• Download and install Cherry Studio from the official GitHub releases. Choose the installer matching your OS (.exe for Windows, .dmg for macOS, .AppImage for Linux).
• Sign up at tokenmix.ai and generate an API Key from the Console → API Keys page. Your key starts with sk-tm-.

Setup Steps

Option A — OpenAI-Compatible (Recommended, supports all models)

1. Open Cherry Studio and click the Settings icon (⚙️) in the left sidebar.
2. Go to Model Services (模型服务).
3. Click Add Service (添加服务商) → select OpenAI as the service type.
4. Fill in the fields:
   • Name: TokenMix
   • API Key: paste your sk-tm-xxx key
   • API Address: https://api.tokenmix.ai/v1
5. Toggle the provider switch ON (upper-right of the card).
6. Click Manage Models (管理模型) → Add Model and enter a model ID such as claude-sonnet-4.6.

Option B — Anthropic Native API

1. Follow steps 1–2 above.
2. Click Add Service → select Anthropic as the service type.
3. Fill in:
   • API Key: sk-tm-xxx
   • API Address: https://api.tokenmix.ai/v1
4. Add models like claude-sonnet-4.6 or claude-opus-4.8.

Verify

Send a test message in a new chat window. You should receive a reply from the selected model within a few seconds. If the connectivity check (🔗 icon next to the API Key) shows a green checkmark, you're all set.

FAQ

Q: My API Key shows an error on the connectivity check. A: Make sure the API Address ends with /v1 (no trailing slash after that). Double-check the key copied from the TokenMix console with no extra spaces.

Q: I don't see my model in the list. A: You need to manually add model IDs in Manage Models. Use the exact short IDs listed on the TokenMix models page, e.g. claude-sonnet-4.6, gpt-5.4, deepseek-v4-pro.

Q: Can I use multiple providers at once? A: Yes. Cherry Studio lets you add unlimited providers and switch between them per conversation. Add TokenMix alongside any other service — they co-exist independently.
