Common questions
Do I need an account?

Is Koder free?
Basic local use of Koder desktop is free for personal activities and authorized internal work. You pay your model provider directly.
What does the public API do today?
Is an application receipt a token?
No. It is only a receipt.
Can Koder desktop read keys from .env?
Are the KARMENBOT terminal and phone apps the same product?
No. The phone app is not available for download.
Is Koder open source?
KARMENBOT terminal source is licensed under GPL-3.0-only with a linking exception.
Why did installation exit?
The installer needs you to enter accept. Without an interactive answer or prior acceptance, it exits. That is not a network error.
