codex-router

Codex-X is a cross-platform desktop management tool for OpenAI Codex Desktop and Codex CLI. It provides a visual interface for managing prompt templates, switching between official login profiles and third-party API providers, organizing and repairing local sessions, managing Skills and MCP servers, and inspecting or editing Codex TOML and JSON configuration files. The application can import or edit Markdown prompts, append or replace existing prompt content with automatic backups, test provider endpoints and discover models, import providers from cc-switch, group sessions by project, detect or repair provider inconsistencies, and permanently delete selected sessions from Codex storage. It also previews MCP servers, installs Skills from ZIP files, enables or disables individual extensions, tracks local token usage by date and model, and attributes subagent usage to its main conversation. Codex-X is built as a Tauri 2 desktop application with a React, TypeScript, and Vite frontend, a Rust backend, and SQLite local storage. It provides macOS, Windows, and Linux packages, including Windows portable distribution, and is released under the MIT License.

OmniRoute is an open-source, self-hosted AI gateway developed by diegosouzapw. It exposes model providers through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint and routes requests according to provider availability, quotas, cost, and latency, with automatic fallback and model chaining. The gateway is designed for local-first operation, keeping provider keys locally and supporting encrypted key storage. Its documented features include quota-aware scheduling, context compression through the RTK and Caveman mechanisms, and integrations for MCP and A2A workflows. The repository describes compatibility with coding clients such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Cline, and Copilot, along with desktop and progressive web app interfaces. It is distributed under the MIT license and supports hundreds of providers and more than a thousand model identifiers.

Free Claude Code is an independent open-source local proxy for routing Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, and other coding-agent requests to selected free, paid, subscription, or local model providers while preserving their existing APIs. It provides a searchable model catalog and an Admin UI for configuring providers, supports automatic fallback to another configured model after provider retries are exhausted, and can be launched from a terminal, desktop app, IDE, Discord, Telegram, or phone. Optional RTK filtering reduces common terminal-output tokens, while voice input can use local Whisper or NVIDIA NIM transcription. The project states that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, and that provider free-tier availability and limits may change.

magpie is a cross-platform menu-bar and command-line application for selecting models used by local coding agents. It detects configured agents, lets users change their provider, model, and related settings, edits only the changed keys in configuration files while preserving formatting, and saves profiles for switching groups of agent configurations. It also runs a local gateway at 127.0.0.1:3425 that exposes OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses, Anthropic Messages, and Google Gemini-compatible endpoints. The gateway translates requests between these APIs, forwards them to configured vendors or local servers, and presents provider models through a shared provider/model catalog; signed-in Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot accounts can also be used as providers. A terminal UI, plain CLI, provider management, model-list refreshing, import links, and encrypted backup and restore are included. The application is distributed for macOS, Linux, and Windows, with a smaller terminal-only build, and is licensed under the MIT License. Its official homepage is usemagpie.ai and its source repository is maintained at yetone/magpie.

DeepSeek (深度求索) is an AI research project and model provider that develops and open-sources large foundation models (notably named DeepSeek-V4 and DeepSeek-R1) and provides hosted inference via a chat interface (“DeepSeek AI”) and an API. It publishes open-source model releases and offers a hosted API for text-based prompt inference; video reports state DeepSeek models can be exposed as external backends and routed into the Codex model picker via Codex Router.
