Introducing Obsydian Lab — a sovereign multi-AI editor

Most AI editors ask you to make an uncomfortable trade: send your source to a single vendor's cloud, accept whatever model they picked for you, and pay a second bill for the tokens on top. Obsydian Lab refuses that bargain. It is a full native IDE with twelve AI providers built in, frontier intelligence included in the subscription, and a hard guarantee that your code stays on your machine.

One editor, every brain

Claude is the default coding brain, but you are never locked to it. Route refactors to one model, fast autocomplete to another, web-grounded answers to a third — and switch mid-file without losing context. When you would rather use your own account, paste a key and go unlimited with BYOK.

• Twelve first-class providers, plus OpenRouter for 200+ more and Ollama for fully-offline local models.
• Included AI quota on every plan — no surprise API bill.
• Bring your own key for unlimited usage whenever you want.

Sovereign by default

Sovereign Mode is a single switch that keeps every byte on your machine using local models. With BYOK we never proxy or log a request — your keys live in a local vault and talk directly to the provider. It is local-first the whole way down.

Your editor. Your code. A dozen minds inside it.

A serious editor, not a chat box

Under the AI sits a real IDE: a DAP debugger, language servers, a streaming terminal, a visual git graph, split editors, a minimap and Vim mode. Agent mode and Composer can plan a goal, edit across files, run tests, and propose a diff — with every risky write gated behind your approval.
