Why We Built Shoal: Radical Utility Transparency
Legacy sites upload your files to expensive cloud servers and then trap you with $15/month subscriptions or watermarks. By running inside your browser via WebAssembly, Canvas, and WebGPU, your computer does the work — so it costs us £0.00 to let you use it forever.
Don't trust a privacy policy promising your passport scan, bank statement, or source code will be "deleted in an hour". On Shoal, local tools never upload your files in the first place.
For heavy frontier AI tasks that require datacentre H100 GPUs, we abolish recurring subscriptions. Top up a £3 browser wallet and pay the transparent pass-through API cost (2p–4p per run).
