AIProxy - Protect your OpenAI key in 5 min with a fully managed proxy

The fastest and safest way to protect OpenAI keys for Mac and iOS apps. Don't ship secret API keys in the client, and don't build your own backend. With AIProxy you can monitor API usage, create custom rate limits, and override models right from our dashboard.

Hey everyone 👋 @louzell and I are super excited to share AIProxy with you! We've been heads down over the last few months working with our beta customers and refining the product. We're really proud of the progress we've made so far and we think it'll be a really valuable tool for app developers. And we're just getting started :) A little backstory, before AIProxy @louzell and I were building an AI bootstrap product. But in the process we realized developers couldn't ship our boilerplate without a solution for protecting their API key. So we did some digging and discovered there was a lot of misinformation out there about how to do key security, and nothing that could solve this problem in just a few minutes of setup. 💡🤔 This was the lightbulb moment and we quickly pivoted. We started with protecting OpenAI keys for iOS and MacOS apps, because that's where we saw the most urgency. Our long term vision is to support any service and platform. If you have a service that you would like to see supported, we'd love to hear from you!

Congrats on the official launch! Also, a major thanks from me, since I am one of the happy users who lost $300+ due to OpenAI API key being phished. Moved to AIProxy and haven't looked back ever since!

congrats on the launch, todd and lou! ai-proxy sounds like a practical solution for developers dealing with api key security. i'm curious, what inspired you to focus on protecting openai keys specifically?

@mashy thanks Albert! There were a few reasons we started with OpenAI: 1) We had been using OpenAI in a few previous projects so we were already pretty familiar with the API and some of the Swift packages developers were using on iOS. We actually added AIProxy support right into the SwiftOpenAI community package which is pretty cool (https://github.com/jamesrochabru...). 2) We were seeing a lot of discussion on X about protecting OpenAI keys so it was a great way for us to find some early users to start talking to and investigate the problem. Now that we have OpenAI in a good spot we're starting to look at supporting other services like Anthropic, Replicate, Gemini etc.
