Question 1

How does CC Switch handle API key security?

Accepted Answer

CC Switch stores API keys and configurations locally in an SQLite database with atomic writes to prevent corruption, but it does not encrypt data at rest, so users should ensure their system is secure. Cloud sync options like WebDAV rely on your chosen service's security measures.

Question 2

Can I use CC Switch with my own custom API endpoints?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can create custom providers by specifying endpoints and keys manually, beyond the 50+ built-in presets. The app supports custom configuration for all five tools, allowing integration with private or niche API services.

Question 3

CC Switch vs manual config editing: which is better for team workflows?

Accepted Answer

CC Switch excels for individual developers or small teams needing visual management and quick switches, but manual editing with version control is better for large teams requiring audit trails and infrastructure-as-code. CC Switch's cloud sync helps, but lacks real-time collaborative features.

Question 4

How to set up cloud sync in CC Switch?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings and configure a custom config directory linked to services like Dropbox or WebDAV; CC Switch will automatically sync provider data across devices. Ensure the directory is accessible and has write permissions for seamless synchronization.

Question 5

Does CC Switch work offline or with local models?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CC Switch can manage configurations for local models or offline use, as it primarily handles file edits. However, features like proxy health monitoring and usage tracking require internet connectivity for real-time updates.

Question 6

How to update CC Switch and manage version compatibility?

Accepted Answer

Use the built-in auto-updater or download new releases from GitHub; the app maintains backward compatibility for configurations, but major updates may require re-importing providers. Check the changelog for breaking changes before updating.
