Anthropic + Grip OS

Anthropic builds Claude, one of the most capable AI assistants available. With Grip OS, you can connect your Anthropic API key to access the full Claude model family including Sonnet 4.6 for fast everyday tasks and Opus 4.5 for complex reasoning and code generation. Switch between models on the fly from the command bar, use Claude as your default agent brain, or pair it with local models for a hybrid workflow that balances capability with cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a paid Anthropic account?
Yes, you need an Anthropic API key with active billing. Grip OS uses your key directly so you only pay for what you use.
Can I switch between Claude models mid-conversation?
Yes. Use the model picker in the command bar or press Cmd+M to switch models without losing conversation context.
How does Grip OS handle Anthropic rate limits?
Grip OS respects rate limits automatically and can fall back to a secondary provider (like Ollama or OpenAI) if configured.
Is my API key stored securely?
All API keys are stored in the macOS Keychain with hardware-backed encryption. They never leave your device or appear in logs.
