Hi,
I know you have pro version for AI translation but is it possible to add support for ollama, gemini or other ai platforms with our own api key ?
Ollama, Gemini or LLM Support ?

By the way, I wondering if it could be a new feature for premium, analogy to anki, anki could set your own sync server if you build one for yourself. Same as here, if you buy a life-long payment, this kind of feature would be useful, because it certainly is a guarantee that you could use it forever. Don't take this in a wrong way and respectfully , for a customer or user, an actionable method you can do to retain the product you've paid would be more convincing than a verbal promise.
But I wonder if there are some difficulties to achieve it, like someone would use it to copy your product, which would not be a good thing to happen.
Thanks for getting back to me—here’s a bit more context on why being able to plug in my own API key and prompt would make a tangible difference:
Deeper grammar coverage for Norwegian or another languages:
Norwegian Bokmål actually has three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, neuter). Article choice, definite/indefinite endings, and agreement all shift with gender, and most generic LLM prompts only return the default masculine form. With a custom prompt I can reliably ask for:
• grammatical gender (m/f/n)
• indefinite + definite forms
• short usage examples for each gender
Running that prompt myself avoids the extra manual checks I currently have to do outside Lookupper.Offline use and quota:
Using my local Ollama (or Gemini with my key) works even off‑grid and removes the 50‑lookups/3‑hours cap—usage is only limited by my own model/account quotas.You can keep this pro‑only; so power‑users pay for their own compute while casual users stay on your servers. Of course it will be better for me if you want to keep it free-version
I landed here with the same request! For those of us who are a bit more tech-savvy, having the ability to add our own API keys and custom instructions for the AI would be fantastic. Also, finding a way around the 50 requests every 3 hours would be a huge plus.
Totally get where you’re coming from — having the option to plug in your own API keys and customize things would definitely be powerful for tech-savvy users.
The tricky part is that there are a lot of AI providers out there, and even supporting just a few of them would be a big task. On top of that, maintaining compatibility every time one of them decides to change their API would be a constant headache. It’s not impossible, of course — I could do it — but unless this is something a lot more people are asking for, it’s probably not worth the effort for now.
As for the 50 requests — just to clarify, that’s only a limit for free users. If you’re using Lookupper Pro, there’s no such cap.
Appreciate the feedback, though — if I see more interest in this, I’ll definitely consider it for the roadmap.
