Kiwano
Local-first gateway to manage and route AI provider requests
Visit kiwano.cc ↗What is Kiwano?
Kiwano is a desktop application that sits between your coding agents and AI providers, keeping all API keys on your machine. It runs a local gateway on port 127.0.0.1:8317 that normalizes protocols, routes requests through your chosen strategy, and meters usage—without any data leaving your computer.
Designed for developers using Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, and 23 other agents, Kiwano offers provider management with failover and quota strategies, one-click agent configuration, and a dashboard showing usage trends, costs, and latency per provider. The maker built it with Claude Code. It's free and open source.
