Developer Experience Comes First

Why Developer Experience Is Core to Halfred
When we built Halfred, we didn’t just ask what features we could offer. We asked: How do we remove every possible point of friction for developers?
The answer? Start with the SDKs. Make integration dead-simple. Handle the hard stuff in the background. And let developers focus on what they do best — building great software.
Lightweight SDKs for Every Platform
Our SDKs are designed to drop into your project with minimal setup and maximum clarity:
- Node.js / TypeScript: Clean typings, intuitive syntax, and baked-in profile support.
- Python: One-liners for sending prompts, inspecting usage, and switching profiles.
- iOS & Android: Mobile-friendly libraries for fast integration, optimized for performance.
- Flutter: A unified experience for cross-platform apps, with minimal boilerplate.
You can go from idea to production in minutes.
The Magic Behind the Scenes
Halfred handles the model selection, routing, and fallback logic internally — meaning you get:
- Automatic selection of the best LLM based on cost, speed, and quality
- Fallback to other providers if something goes wrong
- Unified billing with prepaid credit
- No vendor lock-in
And all this with just one API call.
A Dev-First Philosophy
We write the docs we wish we had. We obsess over good defaults. We want every interaction — whether it’s an error message, a type hint, or a CLI tool — to feel like it was made by someone who builds like you.
What’s Next
We’re working on:
- CLI tools for project scaffolding and local testing
- VS Code integration for inline testing
- Open telemetry support and more usage analytics
If you’ve got feedback or ideas, our door is always open.
Let’s keep making this better — together.
