Kotai (交代)
Separate work and personal coding.
Route personal and work projects through separate OpenRouter setups.
Download for macOS
(version 0.1.4)
Free and no in-app purchases.
One IDE, two OpenRouter setups
What it does:
Every model-bearing request must use kotai/personal/… or kotai/work/…. Kotai strips the prefix and routes the request to the corresponding OpenRouter key, and both can run simultaneously.
Data path and privacy:
Prompt data travels through ngrok, then on to OpenRouter.
Why "Kotai"?
Kotai (交代) is the Japanese word for alternation or changeover.
Requirements:
The download requires an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 or newer, a free ngrok account with ngrok set up, and two OpenRouter API keys: one personal and one for work.
Limitations:
Kotai and ngrok must remain running. The ngrok free-plan request and bandwidth limits apply. Anthropic-native clients are not supported.
