Draggy
Getting started
Providers
Servers you run, cloud providers with an API key, and plans you already pay for.
Draggy runs models on this computer by itself. Settings → Providers
is where you add more: a server you already run, a cloud provider with an API
key, or a ChatGPT, Claude or Google plan you already pay for. Each has its own
group in that list.
On this computer
The Draggy engine comes first, with the models you downloaded in
Settings → Models. Below it are the local servers Draggy knows:
Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp server, vLLM, SGLang, Jan, LocalAI, KoboldCpp,
text-generation-webui, GPT4All, llamafile, MLX-LM and Lemonade.
Start the server, then press Scan. Draggy tries each one's usual port on this computer and lists the models it finds. For a server on another port or another machine, set its Address under Advanced.
API keys
Press Add provider and pick one: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, OpenRouter and a dozen more, or Custom for any OpenAI-compatible server. Get a key opens the provider's page for making one. Paste it into API key and press Test. When the key works, the provider's models are listed; tick the ones you want in the model menus.
The key is encrypted with your system's keychain before it is saved. On a system with no keychain, providers that need a key cannot be switched on.
Accounts
ChatGPT, Claude and Google take a sign-in instead of a key. Draggy reaches each plan through that company's own tool: Codex, Claude Code or the Gemini CLI, downloaded the first time you sign in. The sign-in page opens in your browser, and Draggy never sees your password.
Adding OpenAI, Anthropic or Google asks which way you want: Sign in with your plan or Use an API key.
Between releases
Draggy reads a list of new models and providers from draggy.org, so a provider can appear before the next version does. Adding one of those first shows the address your key and your conversations will go to.
What goes where
| Group | Where the model runs | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| On this computer | This computer | Nothing |
| API keys | The provider's servers | Each request, billed by the provider |
| Accounts | The company's servers | Your plan's limits |
What each one sends, and to whom, is on the privacy page.
