Desktop proxy dashboard that auto-rewires Claude, Codex, and friends

What it does EasyCLIProxyAPI is a Tauri-and-React desktop interface for the CLIProxyAPI proxy core. It gives you a single place to manage the core lifecycle, OAuth logins, and upstream API keys for providers like OpenAI, Claude, and DeepSeek, while converting requests between compatible protocols. A built-in dashboard tracks token usage, quotas, and estimated costs without sending analytics elsewhere.

The interesting bit The Agents page detects installed desktop and CLI clients—Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, OpenCode, and others—and automatically backs up and rewrites their configurations to point at your local proxy endpoint. It is essentially a friendly config-file hijacker that removes the friction of manually retargeting every AI tool you own.

Key highlights

• Bundles the CLIProxyAPI core archive for offline-first installation and version management.
• Aggregates multiple upstream providers behind unified OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini-compatible local endpoints.
• Supports OAuth flows for Codex, Claude, Antigravity, Kimi, and xAI, with manual callback fallback when auto-redirect fails.
• Tracks request volume, token counts, cache hit rates, and estimated spend with filtering by model and provider.
• Runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux in both amd64 and aarch64 flavors, with menu bar or system tray presence.

Caveats

• Windows users on v0.2.5 or earlier must perform a one-time manual migration before in-app automatic updates work again.
• It is fundamentally a GUI wrapper and configurator for CLIProxyAPI; without the proxy core, the desktop app offers little standalone value.

Verdict Worth a look if you run multiple AI clients locally and want to centralize billing, credentials, and routing through a single self-managed proxy. Skip it if you already have a working API-management setup and do not mind editing client configs by hand.
