The Free AI gateway.
Self-hosted. No account, no cloud.
Your OpenAI and Anthropic keys don't belong in your code. The free gateway keeps them in one place on your own machine; your application just points at a local endpoint.
Get started in 5 minutes...
The quickstart walks you through configuration and gets the gateway running on your machine. Choose your platform:
Everything in the Free Gateway
Drop-in proxy
Switch providers, rotate keys, or add new APIs without touching your application. Change one base URL and the gateway handles the rest, compatible with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini SDKs.
Keep keys out of code
Credentials stay inside the gateway. Your application sends requests without ever touching an API key.
Budget controls
Set a spending limit per workload. The gateway blocks requests the moment a threshold is hit, in real time, not at billing time.
Local policy enforcement
Restrict your stack to approved models and providers before any request leaves your network. Policy lives in a YAML file at the gateway; no application changes required.
Built-in dashboard
Know what's hitting your AI providers in real time: request counts, latency, spend, and a full execution log. Starts automatically alongside the gateway at localhost:7091 .
No account required
Download, configure a .env file, and run. No registration, no cloud dependency, no expiry.
