byok (bring your own keys) uses your own deepgram and openai accounts. miniti’s backend is not in the audio path - streams go from your device directly to the providers.

​
requirements

  • a deepgram account with an api key - get one
  • an openai account with an api key - get one

​
setup

  1. open miniti
  2. enter your keys on the home screen, or go to settings → api keys
  3. save
your keys are stored locally on your device (in the system keychain).

​
costs

you pay deepgram and openai directly for what you use:
  • deepgram nova-3 - speech-to-text, per-minute pricing (see deepgram’s current pricing)
  • openai gpt-5 mini - ai insights, token-based pricing (see openai’s current pricing)
miniti does not charge anything for byok.

​
switching between byok and managed

miniti retains your byok keys when you switch to managed mode. flip back to byok at any time without re-entering keys.

​
privacy notes

  • in byok, audio streams go directly from your device to deepgram - miniti’s backend is not involved
  • transcripts are sent to openai for insights (same as managed mode, but via your openai account)
  • see privacy policy for specifics
