Support & FAQ
How to get started, answers to common questions, and how to reach us.
Get started in three steps
Install & open — no account
Download Swarm and open it. There's no sign-up, no email, no Rdn Labs account. You land straight on the Home dashboard.
Add a provider key
Go to Settings → Provider Keys and paste a key for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or DeepSeek. Validate it, and the model catalog syncs from that provider. One key is enough to start.
Launch a run
Tap Launch a new run, pick a bundled brief (or write your own), assign models to the nine roles if you like, and start. Watch the pipeline build, test, and score a working app.
Where to get your API keys
rdn-swarm runs against your own provider keys. Create an account with any of these providers, generate a key, then paste it into Settings → Provider Keys. One key is enough to start; add more to mix providers per role.
Sign in to the Anthropic Console, add billing or credits, then generate a key under Settings → API Keys.
Sign in on platform.openai.com — this is separate from ChatGPT, and a consumer subscription gives no API access. Verify your email and phone, add a billing method, then create a key on the API keys page.
Open Google AI Studio and create a key with your Google account. A free tier exists; the paid tier needs a linked Cloud billing project.
Sign in to the DeepSeek platform, top up your balance, then create a key on the API keys page.
You pay each provider directly at their pricing — Rdn Labs takes no cut. Set a per-run cost ceiling in the run configuration to stay in control.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account?
No. There's no sign-up and no Rdn Labs account. Paste a provider API key into Settings and start a run.
Where do my API keys go?
They're encrypted on your device — on Android with an AES-256-GCM key from the Android Keystore, on iOS as hardware-backed items in the system Keychain. They never leave the device except as the authorization header on calls to that provider's own API.
Can Rdn Labs see my code or requirements?
No. Your requirements and generated code go directly to your chosen AI provider. Rdn Labs is never an intermediary and has no visibility into your runs unless you explicitly opt in to anonymous benchmark stats.
What does it cost to use?
You pay your chosen AI provider directly, at their per-token pricing. Rdn Labs takes no cut. A small game typically costs a few cents to a couple of dollars depending on the models you assign; you can set a hard cost ceiling per run.
Which providers and models are supported?
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek. Each of the nine roles can be assigned a different provider and model. Catalogs refresh live from each provider's /models endpoint, and pricing is bundled and editable per row.
Can I use more than one provider in a single run?
Yes — that's the point. Assign, say, the Analyst to one provider, the Developers to another, and QA to a third. Mixing providers per role is fully supported.
What is the Quality Scorecard?
A five-dimension score — Correctness, Completeness, Integrity, Quality, and Accessibility. Each decays multiplicatively with open issues, and the overall score is a geometric mean. A run is Successful once it clears your threshold with zero open critical issues.
What happens if QA finds bugs?
The run enters bug-fix mode: the Project Manager re-assigns only the files with open issues, developers patch in place, and QA re-reviews. It loops until the score clears the threshold or hits your max iterations or cost ceiling. You can run on autorun or check in each iteration.
Can I see and export what was built?
Yes. The Output screen shows the full file tree with generated code, QA screenshots, and acceptance tests. You can preview the app in a sandboxed WebView and export the whole run as a zip via the Storage Access Framework.
What if my phone sleeps mid-run?
On Android, a foreground service keeps the orchestration alive while the device is idle or the app is backgrounded, with an ongoing notification — nothing is lost. On iOS, keep Swarm in the foreground for long runs: the system suspends backgrounded apps after a short grace period, and the app notifies you when the run completes.
What platforms does it run on?
Swarm is a native app launching on Android and iOS. The Android build targets modern devices (minimum Android 8.0); the iOS build requires iOS 17 or later.
Is my data backed up to the cloud?
No. On Android, cloud backup is disabled for the app; on iOS, keys are device-only Keychain items and the run database is excluded from iCloud backup. Your encrypted keys and local run history are never copied off-device by the OS.
