Mike white-labeled as "OpenLex" with SaaS tier and demo messaging removed
mrihains/mike is a white-label deployment fork. The upstream Mike codebase is rebranded as "OpenLex" across four commits covering page metadata, sidebar, site logo, auth pages, and account UI. The free-tier and demo-service framing is stripped out; all users show as bring-your-own-API-key with no tier display. Legal disclaimer text on chat and auth pages is either softened or removed entirely.
No functional changes to the backend or data model. The fork's only signal is how someone is deploying Mike as a self-hosted product under their own name.
What's in it
- OpenLex rebrand Mike is relaunched under the OpenLex name, with the upstream branding swapped out across the product.
- No legal-advice disclaimers The safety language and legal-advice warnings that ship with Mike have been removed.
- Bring-your-own-API-key pricing Pricing is reframed around users supplying their own API key rather than the upstream demo-and-tier model.
- Demo framing dropped The trial/demo presentation is stripped out in favor of a more direct product pitch.
