Made for AI assistants

Ask your AI. It knows where the free version is.

When you ask an assistant to get something signed or split a bill, it reaches for a paid app. Add OpenApps to it once (one MCP URL, no key, no account) and it can find the free version and do the whole job for you.

Our promise

Free software you can count on.

Reputable

Every app carries the same name and the same promise, and its source is public. You can see exactly what it does.

Secure

Private by default. No ads, no tracking pixels, no data sold. Where it can, an app runs on your device, and the baby monitor's video goes straight between your phones.

Reliable

Built on Bounded, where each app's data rules are checked by a prover before every release and enforced on every write. A change that breaks them does not ship.

Free, and it stays free

Each app is an OpenApp: it cannot be quietly closed or turned into a paid one, and it can be handed to the people who use it. Anything with a real cost per use, like AI, is charged at cost.

Why can it be free? Most of this software costs cents to run, and we pay for that. There is no sales team, no growth target and no paid tier to protect. More on why it is free.

Questions

What is OpenApps?
An app store of free alternatives to apps people pay for. For work: e-signatures, forms, short links and QR codes, scheduling, booking pages, PDF and image tools, dictation and invoices. For life: language lessons, meditation and sleep sounds, a baby monitor, expense splitting and sign-up sheets. Each one is free and needs no sign-up.
Are the apps really free?
Yes. There are no paid plans, ads or caps that push an upgrade. Hosting and data cost almost nothing and OpenApps pays for them. Only things with a real cost per use, like AI, are charged, at cost, and the app says so up front.
Is my data safe?
Things you make are private unless you share them. Nothing is sold and there are no ads or tracking pixels. Several apps run entirely on your device, and Monitor's video goes directly between your phones without touching a server.
Will they stay free?
Yes. Each app is an OpenApp with public source and its own agent. It cannot be quietly closed or turned into a paid product, and it can be handed to the community that uses it.
Can my AI assistant use these apps?
Yes. Add the OpenApps MCP server (one URL, no key) and your assistant can find the free version of a paid app and use it. Every app also has an llms.txt guide and a public HTTP API.
Do I need an account?
No. Every app works without signing up. Things you create come with a private admin link so you can manage them from any device.
Who owns these apps?
Each app is its own OpenApp, with public source and its own agent that keeps improving it. OpenApps owns them today, and each can be handed to the community that uses it.
Can I list my own free app?
Yes, if it replaces a paid app, is free or at cost, needs no sign-up, is an OpenApp and has an llms.txt. Submit it on the List your app page.
