Frequently asked questions.

Is Prism subscription-based?
Prism supports subscriptions and a lifetime license for app access, plus any usage costs from your selected cloud providers.
Does Prism collect my data?
No. Zero telemetry, no analytics. With Ollama or Apple Intelligence, data never leaves your device.
Can I use it offline?
Yes — with Ollama for local LLMs and Apple Intelligence for on-device models. Cloud providers require internet.
