ffrree (GitHub organization "Free") was an early-stage, Slow Ventures-backed mobile software company active around 2015-2016. Its only public engineering footprint is a GitHub organization of eight repositories - seven of them forks of third-party iOS and backend libraries (AFNetworking, jot, TheAmazingAudioEngine, protobuf-objc, redis-py, slack) plus an original CocoaPods "Specs" podspec mirror - with all repository activity ceasing in 2016. The company is defunct: ffrree.com now serves a GoDaddy/Afternic domain-for-sale parking lander, and there is no product, developer portal, documentation, SDK, or API surface of any kind. Retained in the API Evangelist network as a verified dead lead rather than deleted, so the slug is not re-researched from scratch.
ffrree is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Defunct, Mobile, iOS, and Portfolio Lead.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ffrree: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

x-enrichment-note: 'Enrichment 2026-07-20 (re-verified, evidence strengthened): ffrree.com resolves to Afternic nameservers
(ns1/ns2.afternic.com) on GoDaddy parking IPs and serves a JS redirect to a for-sale lander; DNS has a null MX ("0 .") and
"v=spf1 -all", i.e. the domain sends no mail. Wildcard DNS makes api./developer./docs. subdomains resolve to the same parking
IPs, and every path - including /.well-known/* and /openapi.json - returns a soft-200 parking page, so none of those are
real artifacts and none were saved. The host does serve a genuine /llms.txt, but it is GoDaddy''s domain-listing blurb,
not a company or API document, so it was deliberately NOT captured as an LLMsTxt artifact. NEW this pass: the GitHub organization
github.com/ffrree ("Free", created 2015-02-02, blog https://ffrree.com) does exist and is verifiably this company, but 7
of its 8 public repos are forks of third-party libraries and the last push was 2016-09-08 - no first-party product code,
no OpenAPI, no spec to ground any artifact on. No npm or PyPI packages exist under this name. Domain-security probing was
deliberately skipped because it would measure GoDaddy''s parking infrastructure, not the company. No artifacts could honestly
be searched, generated, or derived. No fabrication.'
