 A decent app respects users—it doesn’t track, manipulate, show ads, or send data elsewhere. Our architecture is built to guarantee this. Create a “Hello, World” decent app in 30 seconds with our open-source tool. This gives you a React-based web app with UI, an LLM endpoint, and local data storage. |
 | With the LLM running in-browser, token costs are zero. Your app can prompt open-source models including Llama, Deepseek, Gemma, and many others. (full list)  |
No database or backend service hosting costs either. Your only cost is web hosting—and if you choose to host your app from our portal, we’ll cover that too. With this, you get push-to-deploy from GitHub to secure, high-performance hosting with regional CDN support—plus CI builds with staging, promotion, and rollback.
Got an LLM app idea? Release it without worrying about token costs. Decent apps make this easy. Self-host or publish on our portal—either way, you can safely test your ideas with real users. If your app takes off, great—you won’t get hit with surprise LLM bills.  Tokens are free. Scaling is automatic. Just launch and grow. |
| Apps hosted on our portal must follow rules that ensure a trusted discovery destination. The main constraint: no sending user data to services. (You can build a decent app that does this—it just won’t be hosted with us.) User data always stays on the device—by design. To make this easy, our project generator sets everything up in one command. |  |
 | |
| Decent apps aren’t right for everything, but they’re a great fit for tools where users work with their own data—like note-taking, data analysis, or document editing. | |
 | Privacy - Users can trust decent apps with their most private data. Say you build an app that tracks cities a user has visited. People are more likely to use it knowing their data stays on their device—never shared, never exploited. |
 | Speed - Local data is accessed with blazing speed—no slow server roundtrips. As a developer, you avoid full-stack complexity—no backend to manage. |
 | Free hosting - No hosting costs for databases, services, or LLMs. Scaling is automatic—every user brings their own resources. |
We want apps for the coming Decent Portal. Would you like to collaborate with us? If you are an interested web developer, contact us anytime at launch@decentapps.net. We'd love to learn about your project idea, and we can share some information with you. |  |
As a developer that writes code that calls LLMs, I start thinking I need to use LLMs for things that really don't need them. If I use a fast, cloud-based LLM to do everything, it tends to hide the places where I could get better…
