## What is LLM API Request?

LLM API Request lets you send requests to leading AI models straight from Apple Shortcuts, using your own API keys. No subscriptions. No accounts.

SUPPORTED PROVIDERS
• OpenAI • Anthropic • Google Gemini • xAI Grok • Perplexity

KEY FEATURES
• Bring your own API key — pay only for what you use, at provider rates
• Attach images, PDFs, and text files to your requests
• Continue conversations across Shortcut runs with conversation history
• Export any conversation as Markdown — great for apps like Obsidian
• Track token usage across all models with a built-in dashboard
• Export your token usage history
• Use Projects to summarize documents and include them in the model's context
• Test connections to ensure your key is working and browse available models per provider
• Request structured JSON output for automation pipelines

SECURITY FIRST
Your API keys are stored exclusively in Apple Keychain, protected by Face ID or Touch ID. We run no servers and collect no data — everything stays on your device.
