# Nock Own

**Nock Own** runs Nock conversations on your ChatGPT plan through Codex or on your own provider key—not on Nock's managed conversation model. It is $7.99 a month, $59.99 a year, or lifetime: the first 200 lifetime purchases are $99, then $149 while public spots remain. Lifetime is a one-time payment with no renewal. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime include the same features. Nock Own has no free trial.

## What is included

- Nock's voice agent and Chat Manager can use your connected ChatGPT plan through Codex or your own key.
- Connected apps and Team collaboration are included, subject to Nock's fair-use protections.
- Building and background work with your own Claude Code or Codex plan. For Nock's full agent to do a task using your computer, browser, connected apps, or files on your ChatGPT plan, sign in separately with **Sign in with ChatGPT**; connecting Codex for Nock's brain is not that sign-in.
- Local dictation, Light cleanup, and Nock's on-device voice.
- Polished cleanup, cloud voice, and cloud dictation when you connect your own supported keys.
- Nock-managed services are available under fair-use protections. Check **Settings → Usage** for your account's current service status. These protections are separate from Codex's own plan or the provider billing for your own keys.

Nock Own does not include NockBot cloud bots, cloud-bot routines, X posting, or Polished/cloud voice/cloud dictation on Nock's managed provider keys. Without your own speech key, dictation and Nock's voice stay on your computer. See [Bring your own AI](/nock/bring-your-own-ai).

## Connect your AI

In **Settings → Nock AI**, enable **Use my ChatGPT plan (Codex)** and connect Codex using your ChatGPT account, or select **Use your own keys** after adding a supported provider key in **Settings → Providers**. This chooses the AI for Nock's voice agent and Chat Manager. If a task needs Nock's full agent to use your computer, browser, connected apps, or files on your ChatGPT plan, connect that agent separately with **Sign in with ChatGPT** under **Your own AI → Full agent**. A Codex connection for Nock's brain and the full-agent sign-in are separate connections, even when they use the same ChatGPT account. Nock Own does not fall back to Nock's managed model if Codex or your own key cannot answer; it tells you that the selected route is unavailable.

If neither Codex nor an own key is connected, Nock does not send the conversation to its managed AI. It asks you to connect a ChatGPT plan or add a key. A connected Codex brain can use the Nock tools enabled for your account through Nock's restricted tool harness; Nock-managed services and Codex's own plan remain separate. Nock Own does not include cloud bots or cloud hosting, and using your provider key does not remove Nock's fair-use protections for hosted services.
