Common Questions
Everything people ask about PebbleFlow — the AI context management app, not the recreational travel trailer.
What is PebbleFlow?
+
PebbleFlow is a privacy-first, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) AI context management app and browser extension. It lets you run agentic AI workflows with any major model provider — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Mistral, Perplexity, Meta Llama, local Ollama, OpenRouter, and 500+ more — while conversations, attachments, and API keys stay on your own device. PebbleFlow is made by Six Cailloux, LLC.
Is PebbleFlow the same as the Pebble Flow travel trailer?
+
No. PebbleFlow (one word) is software — specifically, an AI context management application and browser extension made by Six Cailloux, LLC. It has no affiliation with the Pebble Flow (two words) recreational travel trailer or its manufacturer. The two products are entirely unrelated.
Does PebbleFlow train AI models on my data?
+
No. PebbleFlow does not train, host, or operate any AI models. When you send a prompt, it goes directly from your device to whichever AI provider you chose with your own API key. PebbleFlow is not in the data path for your AI usage and never retains your prompts, responses, or keys on its servers.
Do I need my own API key to use PebbleFlow?
+
Free users can try PebbleFlow with a limited free tier via OpenRouter. For production use, you bring your own API key for whichever provider you prefer (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, Perplexity, OpenRouter, local Ollama, or any other supported provider). You pay the provider directly — PebbleFlow does not mark up token costs.
What does BYOK mean?
+
BYOK stands for Bring Your Own Key. Instead of paying PebbleFlow for AI inference, you supply your own API key for whichever AI provider you use. Your key and your conversations never leave your device. This architecture means PebbleFlow is not a data processor for your AI content and typically does not require a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under GDPR Article 28.
What platforms does PebbleFlow run on?
+
PebbleFlow runs on macOS (native Swift app), iOS and iPadOS (native Swift app), Android (native Kotlin app), Windows and Linux (Tauri desktop app), and as a browser extension for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari.
What AI models does PebbleFlow support?
+
Any model exposed by any supported provider. Native integrations cover Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Mistral, Perplexity, Meta Llama, and local Ollama. Connecting OpenRouter gives access to 500+ additional models under a single key. PebbleFlow adds new models to its UI within hours of release.
Is PebbleFlow free?
+
PebbleFlow has a free tier with access to built-in tools and a limited number of free-model messages via OpenRouter. Paid plans (Pro, Platform, Teams) unlock premium tools, higher limits, and team features. Because PebbleFlow is BYOK, the token cost of AI usage is separate and paid to whichever AI provider you choose.
Can I use PebbleFlow for my company or team?
+
Yes. PebbleFlow Teams provides centralized billing, admin-published modes with locked configurations, and seat management. Because the BYOK architecture means PebbleFlow is not a data processor for AI content, enterprise adoption typically does not require a DPA, SOC 2 Type II prerequisite, or GDPR Article 28 obligations against PebbleFlow itself.
Does PebbleFlow work offline?
+
Partially. PebbleFlow stores all your conversations, attachments, modes, and settings locally, so you can browse your history offline. For live AI inference you need a connection to your chosen AI provider, unless you use a local provider like Ollama — in which case PebbleFlow works fully offline.
Who makes PebbleFlow?
+
PebbleFlow is built by Six Cailloux, LLC — an independent software company. PebbleFlow is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, xAI, Perplexity, or any other AI provider listed in the app.
