Donate tokens to the open-source projects you use.
Set a monthly limit on your own AI provider account. Maintainers of the projects you choose use it for reviews, tests and fixes. Your API keys stay on your machine. Moochy never stores them online.

How it works
-
Choose a project and a monthly limit
For example $20 a month for a library you depend on. Pause or stop whenever you want.
-
Run the Moochy app on your machine
It keeps your provider key and answers the project's requests with it. Every limit is checked on your machine.
-
See every request
Each request ends with a receipt signed by your device: the project, the model, the cost and the day.
Your API keys stay on your machine
Moochy never stores your API keys online. They stay in your machine's keychain, used only by the Moochy app on that machine, and are never sent to Moochy's servers, not even encrypted.
- In your machine's keychain. You add a key once with
moochy keys add, on your machine. It is stored there and nowhere else. - Used only by the Moochy app on that machine. The open-source app calls your AI provider with the key, after checking your limits.
- Requests are encrypted end to end. Moochy's servers pass encrypted bytes along. They see neither your keys nor the prompts.
Works with your provider and your tools
Donations run on your own key from any of these providers.
- Anthropic
- OpenAI
- OpenRouter
- DeepSeek
- xAI (Grok)
Maintainers use donated tokens from every coding agent with MCP or an OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible API:
Questions
Does Moochy store my API keys?
No. Moochy never stores your API keys online. They stay in your machine's keychain, used only by the Moochy app on that machine, and are never sent to Moochy's servers, not even encrypted. Requests are encrypted from end to end: Moochy's servers only see encrypted bytes and never see your key, the prompts or the answers.
Does Moochy cost anything?
No. Moochy is free: no fees, no commission, no paid plan. You pay your AI provider directly, only for the requests your donation serves, and never more than your monthly limit.
What stops a project from spending too much?
Your monthly limit and your limit per request ($5 unless you change it). The app on your machine checks both before every request, whatever Moochy's servers ask for. It also runs safety checks and refuses requests with risky settings.
What do I see about how my tokens are used?
For each request: the project, the model, the cost and the day, in a receipt signed by your device. You never see the project's code or prompts, and the project never sees your key.
Is Moochy open source?
The Moochy app, the part that holds your key and does the encryption, is open source under Apache-2.0. Moochy's servers and this website are not, which is why the app never needs to trust them. How that works
Your tokens can ship someone's next release.
