Who pays for what

Remote Claude Code is the main thing PandaNpc does — and it runs on your own machine, using your own Claude subscription or model backend. PandaNpc is just the remote control; the AI usage is billed by whoever you point Claude Code at:

• Your Claude subscription (Pro / Max) — interactive sessions use your existing plan, nothing extra.
• A custom backend (e.g. DeepSeek) — point Claude Code at a cheaper provider with your own API key; billed by that provider.

Either way, no PandaNpc credits are consumed for remote Claude Code — your model key and usage stay on your machine.

Built-in AI chat (optional)

PandaNpc also includes a built-in multi-model chat that works without any API key, using a credit system:

• Every account gets a free daily allowance.
• Need more? Top up on the Recharge page.
• Or add your own provider + API key (Settings → Model Configuration) to use it with no credits consumed.

Data & Privacy

• For remote Claude Code, your code and tool execution stay entirely on your own machine — PandaNpc never sees them.
• Connections are encrypted (WSS) and signed; your model API keys are stored only on your machine.
• Built-in chat data is stored locally on your device.
