Getting a Gemini API key

Molufu uses your own Gemini API key (bring your own key). The free tier is enough to start, and the key is stored only on your device.

1. Open Google AI Studio.
2. Sign in with your Google account.
3. Tap Get API key → Create API key.
4. Copy the key and paste it into the Gemini API key field in Molufu's settings.

In the app, the same steps are available from the (?) hint next to the API key field. The key is saved in the Android Keystore (encrypted) and never leaves your device except to call the Gemini API directly.

Setting your save location (Vault)

Molufu writes notes to a folder on your phone. Point it at your Obsidian vault (or any folder you sync).

1. Create a folder for your Obsidian vault on this phone (for example in the Files app).
2. In Molufu, tap Choose folder and select it.
3. From then on, a daily .md note is appended.

To sync with other devices, share this folder with a free tool such as Google Drive + Autosync or Syncthing, and turn on keep on device (offline) in the cloud app. Notes are stored on your phone first, so syncing is entirely up to you.

Pairing your watch

1. Install the Molufu app on your Wear OS watch.
2. Pair the watch with your phone (Galaxy Wearable, etc.).
3. Tap the record button on the watch — recordings arrive on the phone automatically.

Recording happens on the watch. The phone app is for save and transcription settings.
