The app stops connecting to enterprise features (email, calendar, agentic actions). Your local data remains. Contact us to purchase a license or switch to Personal edition.
Any OpenAI-compatible API — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini (has a free tier), Ollama (local), Groq, Together, or your own endpoint.
No. Both editions run fully on your device. AI requests go directly from your machine to your chosen provider — nothing routes through Sparcle.
Press Cmd+Shift+K on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows/Linux. Or configure your own shortcut. Bolt appears as a non-disruptive overlay on top of your focused app.
Your organization's OAuth Client ID and Secret for Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, or any OIDC provider. The setup wizard walks you through it step by step.
Enterprise Trial includes a one-click demo that loads sample data (emails, meetings, tasks) so you can explore the full platform instantly — no credentials needed. It resets when you quit the app.
