# How can we help?

Setting up Sayonic, choosing the brain behind it, and managing your plan.

- [Install Sayonic on your Mac](https://sayonic.app/help/install-sayonic): Open Sayonic.dmg, drag Sayonic into Applications, then open it and tap the pill. Sayonic asks for the microphone first.
- [The Mac permissions Sayonic needs](https://sayonic.app/help/permissions): Sayonic needs the microphone to hear you, Accessibility to click and type, Screen Recording to see the front window, and Automation to work with apps. Calendar and file access are optional.
- [Choose the brain behind Sayonic](https://sayonic.app/help/choose-a-brain): Pick the brain that answers you from the pill's menu; the next request uses it. Use Sayonic Cloud on credits, your own API keys, a local model, or a CLI agent you already use.
- [How Sayonic Cloud credits work](https://sayonic.app/help/cloud-credits): Sayonic Cloud is optional and runs on credits. Pro includes 6,000 credits a month and Max 25,000; a Live conversation uses about 100 credits a minute.
- [Licences, more Macs and cancelling](https://sayonic.app/help/licences-and-cancelling): One licence covers one Mac, and one key works on all of them. Cancel in PayPal at any time; Sayonic keeps working until the end of the time you've paid for.
