How BYOK Works
You provide API keys from preferred providers.
Keys live in your browser's local vault, never sent to TSM servers.
Keys are forwarded directly to providers only when needed.
You pay providers directly for API usage.
Revoke keys anytime by removing them from your vault.
BYOK keeps analytics costs with the user rather than with the platform, making the free tier genuinely free and sustainable.
