Mr Broccoli vs ByoKey

Mr Broccoli is a voice-first AI app for people who already have their own provider accounts. Add your keys, choose exactly which model answers, and listen to the reply. Nothing routes through a server of ours, because there isn't one. BEFORE YOU BUY Mr Broccoli is built around your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, Mistral, DeepSeek, OpenRouter or Alibaba Qwen. Your purchase gives you the app. It does not include AI usage — your provider bills you directly for what you use. TALK, DON'T TYPE • Speak, type or attach an image • Answers are read aloud, starting as soon as the first paragraph is ready • Skip by paragraph, pause, resume or restart playback • Drive Session for hands-free turns: it waits until you finish, counts down, sends, speaks the answer and listens again • Speech recognition using the system, an on-device model or your provider CHOOSE WHO ANSWERS • Save up to four routes — provider, exact model and reasoning effort • Switch between them mid-conversation without losing context • The home screen says who answers next and at what effort • Every answer records the route that actually produced it, including any fallback TUNE EACH CONVERSATION • Length: brief, normal or thorough • Tone: professional, casual, nerdy, concise, Socratic or ELI5 • Your own model and speech-delivery instructions • A specific voice per conversation Set defaults globally, override them per conversation. YOUR CONVERSATIONS • Kept in a local database on your device • Search, pin, archive, rename, share or delete • Fold and expand entries in one continuous transcript • Branch from any message to try another direction without losing the original • Lock individual conversations behind a password or biometrics MORE WHEN YOU WANT IT • Web search grounding, with sources attached to the answer • Council: several models answer, review each other, then one synthesises • Image prompts to compatible models • Optional recall from your past conversations, entirely on the device PRIVACY • No Mr Broccoli account and no Mr Broccoli server • Requests go straight from your device to the provider you chose • API keys stay in the operating system's secure storage — never in backups, logs or exports • A hosted provider still receives the request you send it YOURS TO KEEP • Full backups as readable JSON or passphrase-encrypted AES-256-GCM • Markdown archives to read anywhere or hand to another AI • Importing never overwrites what is already there 19 languages, including Arabic and Urdu right-to-left. Interface, dictation and answer language are set independently. Screen reader, large text, contrast and reduced-motion support throughout. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No cloud account, no cross-device sync, no hosted inference, no included credits, no silent switching of your chosen model or voice, and no autonomous actions on your behalf. AI output is not medical, legal or financial advice. No subscription. Because there is no account system, a purchase on one store does not unlock the app on the other.

ByoKey is an AI chat for your own API key – and it shows you what your answers cost. You pay the AI provider directly, and only for what you use. ByoKey adds no subscription and no markup, and makes your costs visible. SEE WHAT YOU SPEND • Tokens and cost under each answer, wherever a price is known • Totals per chat, per project and per month • A monthly budget you set yourself, with a bar that shows how much of it is used • Compare before you choose: price per million tokens and context length for each model, where the provider's model list includes them • Your own prices for models without a listed price – otherwise ByoKey shows "Price unknown" rather than a wrong figure Amounts based on the provider's own figures are shown as they are; amounts that rest on an estimated token count or on a price you entered are marked "approx.". YOUR KEY, YOUR CHOICE • 15 AI providers, including providers that process data in the EU – or a server of your own, also on your local network • Compatible with API keys from OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral AI and more • Connect with OpenRouter: sign in instead of copying a key – or start with free models (daily limits apply) • Your keys are stored only on this device and are sent only to the provider they belong to • Nothing goes to a provider before you agree – separately for each provider BUILT FOR REAL WORK • Projects with their own instructions and default model • Attach PDFs, text and code files, and images • Create images with the image models of selected providers • Tables and code blocks in answers; export source files or preview HTML on your device • Voice mode: speak and have answers read aloud. On your device it works with any model; via the provider it needs that provider's models for speech recognition and speech output – only some providers offer them • Unsent text stays with each chat while the app is open • Choose the default model for new chats SAFE BY DESIGN • An on-device content filter checks requests and answers • Report content and block models right in the chat • No account with us, no tracking, no ads • In English, German and Polish Free – no in-app purchases, no subscription. Note: ByoKey requires your own API key from a third-party AI provider (for example OpenRouter) or a server of your own. The provider bills you directly for using its models. ByoKey sells no credit, receives no commission and runs no server that your chat requests pass through.
