Always free. Always open.
Tyto is not freemium, not open-core, not a trial. The entire product — server, client, compliance tooling — is MIT-licensed and free to run, for anyone, forever.
Always free. Always open.
Open source, in the open
The complete source — server and web client — lives publicly on GitHub under the MIT License. Audit every line before you trust it with your community, fork it if the project ever goes a direction you dislike, and send patches back if you like. No open-core split: the repository is the product. The libraries Tyto builds on are MIT-compatible permissive licenses — the full list is in the documentation.
Free for any use
Companies, governments, schools, non-profits, hobby servers — the license draws no lines. Run Tyto commercially, internally, at national scale or for five friends: no license fees, no per-seat pricing, no "contact sales" tier waiting at the end. The MIT License asks for one thing only — keep the copyright notice.
Your data stays yours
Everything lives in your database on your server — no vendor cloud, no telemetry, no third-party analytics. Your conversations are never mined, sold, or used to train AI models: they never leave your machine in the first place. Users get export and deletion built in — see the privacy page.
Fork it, brand it
Server name, logo and accent color are yours to set out of the box — and if that's not enough, fork the code and make it truly your own: rebrand it, white-label it inside your product, strip what you don't need. MIT means no copyleft obligations and no permission to ask.
Open, documented API
Everything the web client does rides a versioned JSON-LD REST API with interactive docs on your own server, scoped API keys and signed webhooks. Build your own client or mobile app, wire chat into your pages, services and games — or embed public messages straight into a website.
No strings, by design
No account with us, no license server to phone, no terms that can change under you — once you run Tyto, nobody can take it away or start charging for it. Fork it, brand it, ship it as you see fit — your server keeps working, whatever happens upstream.
A better world. That's it.
No catch waiting in a future pricing page. If Tyto is useful to you, spread the word — tell a friend, a team, a community that deserves to own its conversations. Stay safe, stay private.
