One endpoint.
Your choice of provider.

  1. 01

    Connect a provider

    Sign in with ChatGPT / Codex, or add a provider API key.

  2. 02

    Choose your defaults

    Pick the default model, reasoning effort, and speed.

  3. 03

    Point your app at Lane

    Copy the base URL and client key into any client.

Local apps in.
Provider calls out.

Lane is a gateway, not another cloud.

The useful boundary is a real boundary.

Provider credentials never reach web pages, extensions, API responses, or CLI output.

Fixed to loopback

The gateway binds to 127.0.0.1. No setting exposes it.

Separate client key

Every API route requires a random Lane client key.

Explicit browser access

Browser origins use an allowlist — never wildcard CORS.

Redacted activity

Logs keep metadata only: no prompts, output, or secrets.

OpenAI-shaped on the outside.
Multi-provider underneath.
