Kivo

Auto-switch between multiple Claude accounts/API keys when hitting rate limits.

Problem

Heavy Claude Code users often have multiple subscriptions, API keys, and relay services. When they hit the 5-hour or weekly limit, they have to manually change configs, which is painful. A V2EX user shared their own Kivo tool for this, showing the pain point is real and common.

Solution

A local proxy endpoint that unifies all Claude subscriptions, API keys, and relays. When one account hits a limit, it automatically switches to the next, supporting load balancing or sticky sessions. A dashboard shows each account's 5-hour/weekly window, reset time, token usage, and spend, with one-click integration for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc. Keys stay local.

Users

Heavy developers using multiple Claude subscriptions or API keys, AI tool enthusiasts, and small teams.

MVP

Local endpoint for unified routing; auto-detect limits and switch accounts; display account usage and reset times; one-click integration with Claude Code and Desktop; secure local key storage.

Revenue

Free basic tier; premium subscription $5/month for load balancing strategies, team sharing, and detailed reports; or one-time purchase $29.

Why now

AI coding tools like Claude Code are exploding in usage, making multi-account management a necessity, and indie developers can quickly build local proxy tools.
