FAQ and support
Short answers to common questions, and how to reach a human.
Which Macs does EaseKit run on?
macOS 14 or later. Liquid Glass effects use the real material on macOS 26 and a close fallback on earlier versions.
Do I need an API key?
No. You can sign in with a Claude or ChatGPT subscription. An API key gives you every feature, including images. See Connect an AI provider.
Can I use EaseKit without AI?
Yes. Everything the AI does, you can do by hand: draw, edit layers, keyframes and curves, use templates and actions, and export. Feedback chips can apply changes without the AI with ⌥-click, and Compare Variants makes four feels locally.
Is EaseKit available in other languages?
The app is in English on every Mac; pick Deutsch under Settings → Appearance → Language and restart EaseKit to switch. In German, menus, panels, quality findings and their suggestions, audit results, the “what changed” notes under answers and the built-in intros are translated; product terms like Timeline, Keyframe and Component stay English. Exported code stays English. The Glossary lists the German terms. These docs are in English, and the search understands common German UI terms.
Where are my sessions stored?
On your Mac, in EaseKit's data folder, with automatic backups. See Your data and backups.
What does the AI see?
Your message and attachments, the current animation, its quality findings, the session style and memory, and the relevant motion skills. See How the AI edits your animation and Privacy.
Does the MCP server need EaseKit to be open?
No, for most tools. Opening a session in the app and rendering video start EaseKit. See Set up EaseKit in Claude.
Which export should I use?
Video for posts and reviews, Lottie for animated illustrations in apps, React or SwiftUI for real components, and a share link to show someone. See the Export format matrix.
