:free with unified credits.The world's best AI was always accessible. Hyde just gathered it all into one quiet, beautifully designed workspace.
Hyde was built on a simple observation: frontier reasoning was being locked behind arbitrary subscription paywalls.
We believe access to frontier reasoning shouldn't be locked behind arbitrary subscription paywalls.
The world's most capable AI models — from Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepSeek — are already available through free tiers and direct API access. Hyde was built to give individuals direct, sovereign control over those models, without intermediaries adding friction or cost.

Like water and electricity — it should simply be there when you reach for it.
We built the door. You own the key. We'd never touch what's yours.
No bait, no switch, no "Pro" ambush waiting in the dark.
We'd rather be small and honest than big and slippery.
Support is done by people, not bots. The irony is intentional.
Everything people ask before switching. Still curious? A real human answers email — usually the same day. hello@hydethinks.com
Yes. Your messages are securely relayed through Hyde's servers to the provider you chose. Your chat history is saved to your account so you can revisit it anytime. We never train models on your chats, sell your data, or show ads. Your API key is encrypted and tied to your account — never sold, never billed against.
Right inside The Hyde Keybook above or inside the app — tap "Get a free key" and the in-app guide walks you through it with screenshots. Usually that means signing into Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google AI Studio, tapping "Create API key", and pasting it back. About two minutes, no card required.
No. Hyde is free, forever — no premium tier, no ads, no sneaky one-time purchase. The only thing you need is a free API key from a provider. We may introduce optional paid features in the future, but whatever is free today stays free.
Then Hyde was built specifically for you. The setup guide shows every single tap with screenshots, in plain language. And if you get stuck, email us; a human replies, usually within a day.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, DeepSeek-R1, Gemini 2.5, Llama 4, Mistral and more — whatever your free keys unlock. You can switch models mid-conversation.
Impossible from our side — Hyde never asks for payment details, full stop. Stay on the provider's free tier (the guide points it out). Nothing is ever charged automatically.
