In this FAQ center you’ll find clear answers to the most common questions about using Fello AI on Mac, iPhone and iPad. If your question isn’t covered, you can always reach out to us directly.
Fello AI is a desktop client for interacting with various AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, and more.
Unlike ChatGPT, Fello AI allows you to switch between these models seamlessly and customize your experience based on the model’s strengths—without paying for each one separately.
On top of that, Fello AI offers a wide selection of useful features, such as the ability to pin your most used conversations, bookmark useful replies, search across all your chats, and more.
No. Fello AI is an independently developed app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, Alibaba, or xAI. We use public APIs to provide access to their AI models, but Fello AI is not an official product of any of these companies.
Fello AI supports all major AI models, including following:
Plus, best-in-class image generation and editing models:
Each model is great at different tasks—like natural conversation, coding, internet research, or image generation—making Fello AI a flexible tool for all kinds of users.
We also keep the app updated regularly, and new models are usually added just days after their official release. This way, you always have access to the latest AI technology without switching apps.
Absolument ! Fello AI prend en charge la plupart des langues parlées. Il vous suffit d'écrire votre invite dans la langue de votre choix, et l'IA la reconnaîtra automatiquement et répondra dans la même langue, ce qui facilite la communication dans différentes langues sans avoir à changer les paramètres.
Oui, vos données sont aussi sécurisées que le permettent les grands modèles de langage (LLMs). Toutes les conversations sont stockées exclusivement sur votre appareil, et aucune invite ou interaction n'est enregistrée sur nos serveurs. Avant que toute donnée ne soit traitée, elle est chiffrée pour garantir la confidentialité et ne peut pas être liée personnellement à vous. Cependant, étant donné que les LLM ne sont pas sous notre contrôle direct, nous vous recommandons d'éviter de partager des informations personnelles ou sensibles lors des conversations.
Yes, there are limits on the number of free queries you can ask every 1-4 hours (based on current system status), as well as a cap on the number of PDFs and images processed per hour. However, these limits are set fairly high and primarily exist for security reasons. For 99% of users, these limits are practically unnoticeable, making the experience feel virtually unlimited in most cases.
Yes, a few features from the official apps aren’t available in Fello AI—for example, ChatGPT’s voice input, Claude’s memory tools, or Gemini’s integration with other Google services.
However, Fello AI offers its own powerful advantages that many users find more useful for everyday work—like:
So while some official features are missing, Fello AI gives you a faster, more streamlined way to work with multiple AI tools in one place. Depending on your workflow, it might even be the more powerful option.
Language models are not self-aware and don’t have knowledge of the moment they were deployed or the exact version they represent. This is because the data used to train them does not include references to themselves — the concept of “Claude 4,” for example, likely didn’t exist at the time the training data was collected. As a result, the model may default to identifying itself as an earlier version, such as Claude 3.5, which did exist in its training data.
This behavior doesn’t indicate that the wrong model is being used — it’s simply a limitation of how language models are trained. Fello AI always uses the actual latest versions listed in the app, regardless of what the model might claim in conversation.
Passer d'un modèle d'IA à un autre dans Fello AI est simple. Il vous suffit de cliquer sur le menu "Modèle" dans le coin supérieur droit de l'application et de sélectionner votre modèle préféré dans le menu déroulant. Vous pouvez choisir en fonction du cutoff du modèle, de la note générale de LM Arena ou de votre préférence personnelle.

Yes! Fello AI can analyze all kinds of text files and images—not just PDFs. You can upload up to 16 files at once in a single conversation.
The AI will read the contents and you can ask questions, summarize, or extract info directly—like chatting with your documents and images. It’s a powerful way to understand and work with content fast and efficiently. You can learn more about how to Chat with PDF and other files in Fello AI here!
Oui, Fello AI vous permet d'épingler les conversations fréquemment utilisées, ce qui facilite leur accès à tout moment. Il vous suffit de cliquer sur l'icône à trois points lorsque vous survolez la conversation dans le menu latéral, puis de sélectionner "Épingler la conversation."

Yes, Fello AI now includes image generation and image editing using GPT-Image-1.5, Nano Banana, Grok Imagine, Seedream, and FLUX.2 — some of the most advanced and precise image models available. You can create images from scratch or edit existing ones by simply describing what you want. It’s ideal for creative work, social media, and visual content.
Fello AI includes a dropdown menu where you can select different image models depending on your needs:

To use it:

Non, Fello AI ne prend pas en charge l'interaction vocale pour le moment. Cependant, cette fonctionnalité est envisagée pour une future mise à jour.
Oui, Fello AI inclut une fonction de recherche en texte intégral située dans le coin supérieur gauche. Elle met instantanément en évidence toutes les occurrences d'un terme donné à travers toutes vos conversations, ce qui facilite la recherche de ce que vous cherchez.
Yes! With GPT-4o and DALL·E 3, Fello AI lets you edit images just by describing the changes you want. You can upload a single image to modify—like changing colors or adding objects—or even upload multiple images to creatively blend them into one result. It’s a smart and intuitive way to bring your visual ideas to life.
Yes! Fello AI supports several useful keyboard shortcuts to help you work faster and more efficiently:
Cmd + N – Start a new chatCmd + F – Search through chatsCmd + ⌫ – Delete selected chatCmd + R – Rename selected chatThese shortcuts make it easier to manage and navigate your chats with just your keyboard.
Yes! You can easily adjust the text size to fit your preference.
Just go to Settings (accessible from the top left corner), and use the Text Size slider to increase or decrease the size—from 50% up to 200%. This is great for better readability or making the interface more comfortable for your eyes.
By default, Fello AI uses the same language as your macOS system settings.
If you’d like to change it manually:
Supported languages:
English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian
Yes. Go to Settings and look for the Models section (it’s a dedicated tab on macOS, or inside the settings screen on iOS). Pick the model you want as your default, and every new conversation will start with it automatically.
You can change your default anytime — it only affects new chats, not existing ones.
Yes. When an AI response includes information from a web search, you’ll see a Resources button at the bottom of the message. Tap it to expand a list of clickable source links — so you can verify the information or read the original pages yourself.
This works on both iOS and macOS and appears automatically whenever the AI uses web search to answer your question.
Go to Settings in the Fello AI app and look for the Notifications section. You can turn off push notifications entirely from there.
Fello AI only asks for notification permission after you send your first message, so if you declined the initial prompt, notifications are already off.
If you want to receive notifications but don’t want the AI response to show on your lock screen, go to Settings in the Fello AI app and turn off the notification content preview. You’ll still get notified when a response is ready — you just won’t see the actual text until you open the app.
On macOS, the empty chat screen shows shortcut buttons for your favorite AI models. You can customize them in Settings → Models, where you choose up to 5 models that will appear as shortcuts.
You can also right-click any shortcut button on the empty chat screen — it will show a “Customize shortcuts” option that takes you straight to the settings.
You can pick from any model available in Fello AI, so the shortcuts match exactly how you work.
Fello AI supports all current MacBooks, iMacs, iPhones, and iPads on the market.
It requires macOS 12 (Monterey) or later on Mac, and iOS/iPadOS 16 or later on mobile devices. The app is also optimized for the latest macOS 26 and iOS 26, including support for the new Liquid Glass design. Make sure your system meets these requirements for the best performance and experience.
Fello AI is now available on macOS, iPhone, and iPad!
You can enjoy a seamless AI experience across all your Apple devices—with full feature support and optional sync between them. Fello AI is available on all iPhone and iPad models that run iOS 16 or higher.
Actuellement, Fello AI n'est pas disponible sur Windows. Cependant, nous envisageons d'étendre la prise en charge des plateformes dans de futures mises à jour.
Non, Fello AI est une application autonome qui ne nécessite pas d'abonnements supplémentaires. C'est une excellente offre pour quiconque souhaite bénéficier des avantages de plusieurs LLMs au prix de quelques tasses de café.
Les grands modèles de langage (LLM) sont des systèmes d'IA avancés formés sur d'énormes ensembles de données, comprenant des livres, des sites web et des articles, pour comprendre et générer un texte semblable à celui des humains. Ils fonctionnent en prédisant le mot le plus probable à venir dans une phrase en fonction des mots qui le précèdent. Cela leur permet de gérer une large gamme de tâches, allant de répondre à des questions à rédiger des essais, en reconnaissant les motifs dans le langage sur lequel ils ont été formés.
The accuracy of an AI’s response depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the question and the AI model being used. Generally, popular models like GPT-5.2, Claude, and Gemini provide highly accurate and relevant answers for most everyday tasks. However, since these models are not perfect, they may sometimes generate responses that are incorrect or nonsensical, especially when asked about very niche or specialized topics.
AI is a powerful tool, but it’s not always 100% reliable. It generates responses based on patterns in the data it has seen—not by accessing verified facts in real time. For casual use, it works great, but for important topics (like legal, financial, or medical advice), it’s best to double-check information from trusted sources.
A hallucination is when AI gives an answer that sounds confident but is actually wrong or made up. This can happen because the model is guessing what sounds most likely, not necessarily what’s true. It’s a known limitation and a reason why critical thinking is still important when using AI tools.
The quality of AI responses depends a lot on how you write your prompt. Here are some simple tips to improve your results:
Clear, thoughtful prompts lead to better answers every time.
AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini are trained on data up to a specific cutoff point, which is clearly marked in the app. This is technical limitation which nothing can be done about. Unfortunately, LLMs don’t receive real-time updates, so they might not be aware of events that happened after their training. Some models, like Perplexity Online, can access real-time information, but most do not.
Ce message apparaît généralement lorsque vous avez atteint le nombre maximal de requêtes API autorisées sur une période donnée, comme quelques heures ou un jour. Ces limites garantissent une utilisation équitable du système. Cependant, ce problème peut également survenir dans des pays avec des contrôles stricts d'Internet comme la Chine, l'Iran ou l'Irak, ou si vous utilisez un VPN. De plus, cela peut arriver si plusieurs personnes utilisent l'application sous le même compte ou sur le même réseau, comme des membres de la famille ou des collègues de travail. Dans ces cas, essayez de changer de réseau ou de passer à un plan supérieur pour augmenter votre limite d'appels API.
This can happen when the Apple App Store doesn’t correctly recognize your active subscription. It’s not a problem with the Fello AI app itself, but a sync issue between your device and Apple’s servers.
To fix it, please try the following:
These steps usually resolve the issue. If it still doesn’t work, we recommend contacting Apple Support directly to confirm your subscription status.
Non, cela n'est pas possible. Fello AI est une application totalement autonome, et il n'est pas possible de se connecter ou de synchroniser vos comptes ChatGPT, Claude ou Gemini dans l'application.
No, Fello AI is a completely independent macOS app and does not connect to your existing subscriptions from OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), or Google (Gemini). You don’t need separate subscriptions—Fello AI includes access to these models through its own system.
La gestion des abonnements est assurée par Apple, et non par le développeur, vous devrez donc l'annuler vous-même via l'App Store. Si vous souhaitez annuler votre abonnement, vous pouvez suivre le Guide d'annulation d'abonnement..
Fello AI offers a free tier that includes essential Q&A capabilities. In this tier, you can ask a limited number of questions per hour. For full access to all features, including unlimited chat with images, PDFs and other files, we offer the following paid plans:
We understand that costs matter, and that’s why Fello AI is one of the most affordable options, giving you access to several top-tier AI models in one app and it’s available on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Your subscription helps cover the cost of these powerful AI models and ongoing development. We’re doing our best to keep the price as low as possible while constantly improving the app.
Yes, Fello AI includes a free tier where you can ask a limited number of questions, resetting every hour. Please note that advanced features, like PDF and image recognition, are only available in the paid plans.
Fello AI doesn’t require you to pay for each AI model separately. Instead, we pay the AI providers (like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) based on how many queries you actually make.
Most users only make $5–10 worth of queries per month, even when using advanced models like ChatGPT 5 or Claude 4.5. Because of this, we’re able to offer Fello AI at a much lower flat rate—without limiting your experience.
In short, you’re sharing costs with other users, which makes it far more affordable than paying for individual subscriptions to each AI model separately.
Yes! Your Fello AI subscription works across all your devices—Mac, iPhone, and iPad—as long as you’re signed in with the same Apple ID. You don’t need to purchase it separately for each device.
If your subscription isn’t recognized and the paywall appears, simply tap “Restore Purchase” on the paywall screen. This will re-sync your active subscription from the App Store.
By default, your data stays local to your device, ensuring your privacy. If you want to sync your conversations, files, and bookmarks across your Mac, iPhone, and iPad, follow these simple steps:
That’s it! Automated syncing will start, keeping your data up to date across all your Apple devices.

If you’re signed in, go to Settings → Account and click “Delete Account.” This will immediately and permanently erase all your data—both locally and from our servers, including conversations, files, and synced content.
If you’re not signed in, the option will appear as “Erase All Data.” This will clear all Fello AI data stored locally on your device.
⚠️ This action is irreversible. Make sure to back up anything important before confirming it.
