AI Desktop Process Proxy
Process-level proxy for desktop AI apps like ChatGPT and Claude, no global TUN needed
- Problem
- Users often need to proxy specific desktop AI apps (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor), but system-wide proxy or TUN affects everything and is complex to configure. Existing tools can't target processes, causing network conflicts or slowdowns.
- Solution
- A lightweight local proxy launcher that auto-detects target processes and routes only their traffic through a proxy. Supports common AI desktop clients on Windows/macOS/Linux with one-click setup and rule management.
- Users
- Developers, designers, researchers who need reliable access to overseas AI services
- MVP
- Detect and list common AI desktop apps; set proxy rules for selected processes; support HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies; traffic stats and connection status; import/export rules
- Revenue
- Free basic + paid pro (multi-rule, auto-updates, priority support) as annual subscription
- Why now
- Explosion of desktop AI apps with complex network environments; solo devs can wrap existing proxy libraries (e.g., Clash) quickly
