Coding Plans: Claude Code • Codex • Gemini CLI • Antigravity • GitHub Copilot • Z.AI • Kimi • Amp Code • Qwen Code • MiniMax
API Providers: OpenAI • Anthropic • Google • Perplexity • Openrouter • Ollama • and more
Coming from Claude Code?
Arctic automatically imports your Claude Code setup—custom commands, agents from ~/.claude/agents/, and MCP servers work out of the box.
Is my data private?
Yes. Arctic runs on your machine and connects directly to your AI provider. Your conversations and data are stored locally on your device and never sent to external servers. We do collect anonymous telemetry to understand how Arctic is used, but this is temporary while Arctic is early in development. You can disable telemetry anytime with arctic telemetry disable.
Can I use my own API keys?
Yes. Arctic supports API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, Openrouter, Ollama, and more.
What about telemetry?
Arctic uses anonymous telemetry to understand how the tool is used and improve the experience. This is temporary while Arctic is early in development. You can opt out at any time:
arctic telemetry disable
