Your keys stay under your control.

Your API keys are kept in your operating system’s secure storage. Uptokey uses them to authenticate with your chosen provider; Uptokey’s cloud does not hold those keys.

Your chosen destination

Choose provider priority. Cross-provider fallback depends on your consent and configuration.

Build with visibility

Follow usage and status locally. Use the web dashboard when you need device management.

An open-source local core.

Inspect the local proxy, adapt the workflow, and keep the ability to run local models or your own provider accounts without a subscription.

A few things worth knowing.

Do I need to install something?
npx uptokey

Opens the coding TUI and starts the local proxy automatically. No Uptokey account required for local models or BYOK.

Does Uptokey include paid AI models?
Discover Ollama-compatible models and keep inference on your computer. Eligible accounts can use included models with visible limits and BYOK as a fallback.
Must the dashboard stay open?
No. Keep the local proxy running. Access and synchronization follow the configured session and entitlement rules; closing the web page does not stop the process.

Use it where you work.

Run the terminal beta now, or open the quick start for the visual workspace and compatible tools.
