Free desktop app. Honest hosted plan.
Tokori Desktop is free and open source. The Hosted plan is a convenience for people who don't want to install anything or manage their own AI keys. Both read and write the same vocab + decks — switch any time.

Questions you might have.
What counts as a credit?
1 credit ≈ $0.001 of model cost at retail. A typical chat turn with a small model is 5–20 credits; an advanced reasoning turn is 50–200. The Hosted plan includes 3,000 credits every month, which covers casual daily use.
What happens after my trial ends?
You can still sign in, read your data, and use the desktop app — only the cloud AI calls require an active subscription or your own API key. Nothing gets deleted.
Can I switch between Desktop and Hosted?
Yes. Same account, same data. Backup-and-sync moves your vocab + decks between devices. The Hosted plan is just a convenience — your data is yours either way.
Do you train AI on my data?
No. Tokori is a thin client over whichever model you point it at. Conversations on the Hosted plan go to MiniMax with their no-training policy; on Desktop they go directly from your machine to whichever provider's key you've configured.
Where's my data hosted?
Desktop: in a SQLite file on your computer. Hosted: in a managed Postgres database in the EU (Frankfurt). Both are encrypted at rest. Either way, export at any time as JSON.
Is the source available?
Yes — the desktop app, sync server, and MCP bridge are all MIT-licensed and on GitHub. The cloud's billing service is closed-source for obvious reasons, but the data model and APIs that touch your data are open.
