Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Proprietary software; a perpetual licence covers the eligible app version, not provider models or unlimited hosting. Terms prohibit BoltAI from training on your content; selected third-party providers have their own policies. Optional sync stores selected content, and hosted requests can pass through BoltAI. The EULA broadly bars commercial use while the pricing FAQ directs companies to Team licences: obtain written clarification for business use, not an assumed unrestricted output licence.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.6 is retained. Its original scoring worksheet is unavailable; this documentation review supplies no hands-on, accuracy, speed or outcome score.
Overview
BoltAI is a native Mac client that connects hosted providers or local models and adds projects, document chat and MCP tools. The software licence and model access are separate purchases. Optional cloud sync and hosted/proxy AI mean that local-first does not describe every data path.
Consider it for managing several model providers on a Mac. Check provider charges, tool permissions and renewal-dependent cloud features before choosing a licence. No client or model was run.
