Local LLM Key Gateway

Removes the pain of juggling multiple relay keys across Claude Code and Codex

Problem

A developer shares concrete pain: switching upstreams always requires restarting the client; Codex learned the key typed during initialization and blew up the upstream; switching providers breaks old sessions, and the related issue has forty-plus comments and is still open. Multi-key, multi-model, multi-client setups are a mess.

Solution

A local desktop app that manages all keys and relays, routes by model to the right provider, hot-swaps without restarting clients, logs cost and latency per request, and binds sessions to models and providers so they can resume. Similar to open-source efforts, but packaged as a ready-to-use paid product.

Users

Indie devs and small teams using Claude Code, Codex, and multiple domestic models or relay keys simultaneously

MVP

Desktop key and upstream management; rule-based model routing; hot switch without client restart; per-request cost and latency logs; one-click import and export of configs.

Revenue

One-time purchase or low-cost annual subscription for individuals; an enterprise tier with shared configs and audit.

Why now

Multi-model use is now normal for developers, but each client's switch UX is painful and no big player is motivated to unify it; indie devs are users themselves and can build the best local tool.
