# 👨‍💻 Digital team mates for developers OpenMates is also an awesome tool for developers. For everything from quick questions, planning large projects, generating code based on the most up-to-date documentation, and much more. ## REST API & CLI OpenMates provides a REST API and CLI for developers who want to integrate OpenMates into their own projects or automate tasks. No MCP setup required. ## Privacy & open source Your code and conversations are encrypted in your browser before being sent to our servers, and stored only as ciphertext. Our servers decrypt content transiently in memory when you need it (for AI responses, invoices, reminders) and never persist plaintext to disk, logs, or traces. Before prompts reach any third-party AI model, real names, emails, and addresses are replaced with placeholders on your device. OpenMates is open source — you can inspect the exact encryption code, contribute, or self-host your own instance. ## No subscription required Pay only for what you use. Start for free with no credit card required.
