MindMac Integration

MindMac is a native macOS AI chat client that supports multiple providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. It offers a clean interface with markdown rendering and conversation management.

MindMac supports custom API providers, making it simple to connect LLM API.

Prerequisites

An LLM API account with an API key
MindMac installed or accessible

Setup

Get Your LLM API Key

Log in to your LLM API dashboard
Click Create Key to Start
Copy your new API key immediately — it will only be shown once
Store the key securely (e.g., in a password manager or .env file)

LLM API is an OpenAI-compatible gateway that gives you access to dozens of AI models through a single API key and endpoint.

Configure LLM API in MindMac

Open MindMac on your Mac.
Navigate to Preferences → Providers.
Click "+" and select "OpenAI Compatible".
Enter:
- Name: LLM API
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- Base URL: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
Add model IDs.
Click "Save".

Test the Integration

Verify that MindMac can successfully communicate with LLM API by sending a test request. All requests will now be routed through LLM API.

MindMac's native macOS interface provides fast access to LLM API models from your desktop.
