Turn your AI subscriptions into a universal coding API

What it does

ProxyPal is a native desktop app built with Tauri that runs a local proxy on your machine. It authenticates to your existing AI subscriptions—Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and others—then exposes them through a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Any coding tool that speaks the OpenAI format, including Cursor, Cline, Continue, and Claude Code, can route requests through it instead of needing separate API keys.

The interesting bit

The app essentially unbundles your AI subscriptions from their official clients. Rather than renting access to a model trapped inside a chatbot or a specific IDE extension, you get a standard local API with usage analytics, request monitoring, and auto-configuration for installed CLI agents. It is fundamentally a polished UI and management layer around CLIProxyAPI, but that polish turns a configuration headache into something you can actually manage day-to-day.

Key highlights

• Bridges Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Qwen, Vertex AI, Antigravity thinking models, and GitHub Copilot through a single local endpoint on port 8317
• Auto-detects installed CLI agents and points them to the proxy automatically
• Tracks requests, tokens, success rates, and estimated cost savings in a built-in dashboard
• Ships native builds for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows x64, and Linux x64 (.deb)

Caveats

• The macOS app is not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, so macOS Gatekeeper will block it on first launch
• Linux packaging is limited to x64 .deb; other distros or architectures are not listed
• Core proxy logic belongs to CLIProxyAPI; this repo is primarily the UI wrapper, auto-configuration, and analytics layer

Verdict

Grab it if you pay for multiple consumer AI subscriptions and want to consolidate them into one IDE-agnostic API. Skip it if you already have direct API access and don’t need a desktop manager, or if you require a fully notarized macOS app.
