UnoRouter is an open source AI platform for indie makers that pairs an OpenAI-compatible API with a chat app that keeps conversations in the browser, both running on the same account and key.

On the API side you set one base URL in your SDK, Claude Code, Cline or OpenCode and call models from many vendors by name. The gateway watches each upstream route and moves traffic to a healthy one when a provider errors or rate limits, so your project does not inherit somebody else's outage.

On the chat side you get a web client for talking to the same models, with history stored locally in your browser rather than on a server. Nothing to install, and nothing of yours sitting in a database you cannot see.

Pricing starts at zero: free models and a free tier, then pay as you go for paid models, with credit that you top up when you need it. All of the code, from the web app to the gateway, is public on GitHub.

## Features

- **Multi-provider model gateway**: Reach models from many providers through one OpenAI compatible API key.
- **Free and paid model access**: Use models with a :free suffix or pay per token or per call for paid models.
- **Built-in character chat**: Chat with characters using cards, personas, lorebooks, group chats, presets and branches.
- **Developer API and integrations**: Connect coding agents, chat clients, roleplay apps and CLI tools through compatible endpoints.
- **Prompt scripting and automation**: Use macros, regex scripts, triggers, Lua and JavaScript plugins around messages.
- **Usage controls and auditing**: Manage key expiry, spending limits, model and IP allowlists, and inspect request logs.
