// Models

One session for any model key.

Arcana does not sell a model. It gives your model keys a terminal-native session layer with memory, tools, and scheduled runs.

// System

Everything around the model.

OpenRouter sells unified model access. Arcana sits one layer above: the terminal surface where keys, tools, memory, jobs, and gateways meet.

01

Any model key

Add provider keys once. Start sessions against the model that fits the task instead of changing apps.

02

Session memory

Search previous sessions, facts, artifacts, and decisions. Keep context outside one provider's chat history.

03

Scoped tools

Run filesystem, shell, git, gateway, and skill tools from explicit profiles. The tool surface is visible.

04

Skills on demand

Load specialized instructions only when needed. Keep the base session clean.

05

Cron jobs

Schedule recurring prompts, reports, reviews, and checks from the same terminal runtime.

06

Chat gateways

Expose sessions through Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp when the terminal should not be open.

// Start

Install. Add key. Run session.

No account required for local use. The first run should feel like using a developer tool, not signing up for another workspace.

1

Install

Run Arcana from npm. Keep it local.

2

// Pricing

Free locally. Paid when it becomes a system.

Model costs stay with your provider. Arcana charges for the terminal interface, session layer, sync, relay, and team surfaces.
