Uptokey is an open-source, zero-knowledge AI proxy and router. Under a strict BYOK model, your API keys stay encrypted locally on your device—never on our servers. Enjoy seamless, private AI across Tauri, TUI, and PWA interfaces with smart multi-provider fallbacks (OpenAI, Claude, Llama, etc.). Built by an indie dev as a non-profit project, launching this week. 🚀 github.com/uptokey/uptokey ✉️ [email protected]
