Your AI providers. One private local API.
Connect apps, scripts, and agents to the AI accounts you already use.
Lane is a local AI gateway for macOS. Connect ChatGPT / Codex with OAuth or add a provider API key, then use one OpenAI-compatible endpoint from any local client.
Lane is a gateway, not an agent. It never adds hidden instructions, runs an agent loop, or executes tool calls.
- Chat, Responses, and image generation through one API.
- Standard and Fast response modes for OpenAI and ChatGPT / Codex.
- ChatGPT / Codex, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, and custom endpoints.
- Credentials stay in Keychain-backed secure storage.
- The gateway listens only on
127.0.0.1and requires a separate Lane key. - Desktop, menu bar, CLI, and automatic Transly connection.
- Signed releases update through GitHub Releases after user confirmation.
Install the current preview with Homebrew:
brew install --cask 1MoreBuild/tap/laneOr download a DMG from GitHub Releases:
| Mac | Build |
|---|---|
| Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) | Lane-…-mac-arm64.dmg |
| Intel | Lane-…-mac-x64.dmg |
Lane is currently an unsigned developer preview. Homebrew and direct downloads install the same build and do not bypass Gatekeeper. Follow the installation guide; never disable Gatekeeper globally.
Unsigned previews update manually. Signed releases show an update control in the window; click it to download in place and restart into the new version.
- Open Lane and add a provider.
- Choose the default model, reasoning effort, speed, and image model.
- Copy the API base URL and Lane client key into your client.
Test the connection:
curl http://127.0.0.1:3210/v1/models \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LANE_CLIENT_KEY"Lane supports /v1/responses, /v1/chat/completions, and
/v1/images/generations, including streaming text responses and base64 data
URL image inputs for vision-capable models. Tool calls are returned to the
client; Lane never executes them. Lane defaults reasoning effort to High and
speed to Standard. A request can override either default with
reasoning.effort / reasoning_effort and service_tier.
| Provider | Sign in |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT / Codex | Browser OAuth |
| OpenAI | API key |

ChatGPT / Codex is a community integration built on
