Providers

One model picker for the AI surfaces you already use.

Aiden supports hosted providers, OpenRouter routing, Apple Foundation Models, local runtimes, and custom endpoints from one native Mac settings surface.

How it works in Aiden

The app is built around provider presets, model refresh, custom models, enable/disable controls, Keychain-backed secrets, and local model load-state checks for Ollama and LM Studio.
