Quickstart
From download to a working chat in a few minutes.
1. Install the app
Download the signed installer from mihael.pages.dev and run it. Open MihaEL.
2. Paste the license
On first launch, paste the token (MIHAEL.1.…). You can also open Settings → License later.
The key lasts six months and works on two devices. When it expires, request a new one from the person who gave you MihaEL — nothing auto-renews.
3. Choose a model
Open Settings → Model (or Settings → Providers).
| Path | When |
|---|---|
| Nous Portal | One sign-in for models plus web search, images, TTS, and browser |
| API key | OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and others — Settings → Providers → API keys |
| Custom endpoint | A local or self-hosted OpenAI-compatible server |
| Local AirLLM | Optional on-device models — Settings → Providers → Local AirLLM |
The composer (left of the microphone) can switch the model for the current chat. The default for new chats is Settings → Model.
4. Chat
Type in the composer and send. Tool activity streams in the transcript. Drag files onto the chat to attach them.
If a dangerous command needs approval, the app prompts you. The status bar YOLO toggle skips those prompts for this session only — know what you are turning off. See Security.
