Yes. Forkline stores code only in transient runner environments, never persists code after runner stops, encrypts all data in transit, and uses encrypted storage for secrets. You maintain complete ownership of your intellectual property.
Forkline bills by runner usage time, measured per minute. Different runner sizes have different rates. You're billed for actual compute time. Learn more about billing.
Yes. Forkline includes OpenCode Zen models, so you don't need to bring your own API key for those. You still pay for runner time while they are in use.
Yes. Add API keys in Settings → AI Providers. Your keys are stored securely and used for your runners only. Forkline doesn't add any markup — you pay your AI provider directly for token usage, and Forkline bills only for compute time.
