Open source and BYOK. No credits, no lock-in.
Weavy and similar closed SaaS canvases lock you into a credit system and a curated model roster. NodeTool is open source and BYOK: every provider, your keys, provider prices, and you own your workflows and files. Cloud is just managed hosting of the same open-source code you can self-host.

Pay providers, not credits — and keep your work
Credit systems and curated rosters decide which models you can use and what each call costs. NodeTool flips that: you add your own API keys and pay each provider their published list price — no credits, no markup, no curated roster. The whole workspace is open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can run it as a desktop app or self-host it, and your workflows and files stay yours. NodeTool Cloud is simply managed hosting of that same open-source code.
