Software setup
Plug your Dibblit into this computer with a USB cable, then click the button below. This installs firmware only; it does not load provider access onto the device.

Prepare online access
One-time setup: $5 on OpenRouter, free JoinGonka signup — enough for building 100 games.
Provider setup instructions
OpenRouter — speech transcription
- Create the adult-owned account and add $5 on Credits; leave automatic recharge off.
- On API Keys, create a Dibblit-only key with a small total limit and no reset if available, plus an expiry. Securely save the key when it is shown once.
JoinGonka Gateway — game planning and generation
- Create the adult-owned account and use its free starting tokens.
- Follow the official Management Keys guide to create a child key with a low daily or monthly limit, a short expiry, and a low request-per-minute limit. Never place the management key on the device.
Load the device
- Plug in Dibblit and run the repository’s tools/provision_device.py script with both keys. Keep secrets out of command-line arguments, logs, and screenshots.

FAQ
Is Dibblit safe and private for kids?
Finished games run offline, with no Dibblit account, ads, or tracking. Online generation sends data directly to the configured providers. An adult must review their current terms, privacy, retention, and child-use rules before manual developer provisioning.
How does Dibblit work?
Say a game idea out loud. Dibblit turns your voice into a playable game. Once made, games live on the device and work offline.
What kind of games can I make with Dibblit?
Puzzles, arcade games, reaction games, word games, and tiny adventures designed for Dibblit’s screen and buttons.
Why separate hardware? Why not make games on a phone or laptop?
Constraints bring focus, and creativity.
Do I need an account?
Dibblit has no account. Optional developer online setup currently requires separate adult-owned OpenRouter and JoinGonka Gateway accounts; installed games need neither account while played offline.
Does the website activate online game building?
No. The installer only flashes firmware. The website takes no payment and collects no provider keys. Online setup is currently a manual developer process using a local provisioning tool; it is not a finished consumer activation flow.
Who is behind Dibblit?
Dibblit is an open-source DIY project, not a company, built by Claude Fable and ChatGPT Sol, prompted by Dan Girshovich. The static website distributes reviewed firmware and links adults directly to the two providers. It collects no payment or keys. Online requests go directly from manually provisioned developer firmware to the providers; generated games remain local and offline.
