Buying
Launch and license
When can I buy it? ›
Soon. CrazyToad is in active development and sales open after the launch polish pass. The waitlist gets one launch email.
What is the price? ›
$20 for the first 50 founder buyers, then $50 one-time.
Is there a subscription? ›
No CrazyToad subscription and no CrazyToad seat billing.
Setup
Install and first run
What OS does it run on? ›
Windows first. The core is portable, but Windows is the launch target.
What do I configure first? ›
Start with Manage → Accounts, then set default brain and agent accounts. The Accounts guide walks through the provider lanes.
Can I remove it? ›
Yes. CrazyToad is local-first and keeps state in local app data. There is no cloud account to unwind.
Providers
Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok, local
Do I need separate API keys? ›
Not for CLI-based Claude, Codex, and Gemini orchestration. API keys are optional lanes for OpenAI-compatible providers, Grok/xAI, media, model discovery, and remote routing.
Is this the same as Claude Code? ›
No. CrazyToad orchestrates multiple coding agents from above. A single CLI is one worker; CrazyToad is the coordinating brain around many workers.
Can it use local models? ›
Yes. Local Ollama lanes are represented in Accounts and can be routed for jobs that fit.
Voice
xAI live voice
Does live voice work with xAI? ›
Yes. The app has an xAI realtime voice engine path using native speech-to-speech,
grok-voice-latest, and barge-in support. It is running live in the app today.Does voice run forever in the background? ›
No. The live session is closed when muted/stopped, so it avoids idle spend while you are not talking.
Can voice forward real work to Toad? ›
Yes. Voice routing supports concierge, discuss, and direct modes so quick answers can stay quick while real work can still go to the brain.
Privacy
Local-first posture
Does CrazyToad send my code anywhere? ›
CrazyToad has zero telemetry. Provider calls happen through the accounts and CLIs you configure, the same broad trust boundary as using those providers yourself.
Are remote host details shown publicly? ›
No. Public screenshots are redacted and the website avoids real IPs, usernames, and desktop paths.
Where does state live? ›
Local app state lives on your machine. Workspaces, memory, accounts-state, and diagnostics stay local unless you deliberately send something through a configured provider.
Updates
Future builds
How do updates work? ›
The app shows an in-app update path when a new signed build is ready. Updates are included for buyers.
Will the site keep changing? ›
Yes. The pages are split so Features, Guides, FAQ, and Pricing can expand as the app surfaces mature.
