Every AI coding tool wants your data. We wanted the opposite.
Shakespeare is an AI app builder where:
- Code lives in your browser (IndexedDB)
- AI requests go directly to providers (no proxy)
- Git operations are client-side (isomorphic-git)
- Payments are anonymous if you choose (Lightning/Nostr)
There's literally no database. We couldn't see your code if we wanted to.
The tradeoff is you need to configure your own API keys or buy credits.
But you get full ownership and privacy in return.
