About the startup
APISelf is a desktop marketplace of local-first apps that double as APIs and MCP tools so you, Claude Desktop or Cursor can call them directly. Everything runs on your own machine, works offline, and keeps your data with you. Subscriptions don't exist: each app is a one-time unlock. Need cloud AI? Bring your own keys, they stay local and you pay providers directly, at cost. Free launcher and free tier, forever.
