Software you
own outright.

Every drop replaces a subscription you are already paying for. Clone it, point it at a model you own, and keep it.

Configuration

Bring your own everything.

Every drop reads the same three variables. Drop 001 and drop 100 take identical config, so you set this up once and never think about it again.

  • You do not need a GPU. The default is a free hosted model — no download, no credit card, about a minute to get a key.
  • There is no keyless free model. Every hosted provider rejects unauthenticated requests — checked, not assumed. Free means free of charge, not free of signup.
  • Free tiers are smaller than they look. Measured: OpenRouter gives 50 requests a day on :free models. A 10-slide deck spends eleven.
