FROM SOURCE

Build it yourself

Node 20 and a Rust toolchain. The README covers the rest.

git clone …/arty && npm i && npm run tauri build

Then: bring your own key

Arty has no model of its own. On first launch it asks for a key from a provider you choose, and stores it locally.

  1. Create a key with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
  2. Paste it into Settings. Pick a chat model, and optionally a voice for speech.
  3. Set the language you're learning and the one explanations should be in.

What it costs

Arty is free. Your provider bills you for what you use — a rough guide from everyday use:

A 10-minute spoken session≈ $0.10
A written task with feedback≈ $0.02
Dictionary lookups & drillsfractions of a cent

Running a local model instead costs nothing but your own hardware.
