> Unified OpenAI-compatible proxy routing across free LLM tiers

FreeLLMAPI aggregates dozens of free-tier LLM providers behind a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. It manages request routing, automatic failover on rate limits, per-key token quotas, and encrypted credential storage. The service runs locally as a desktop menu-bar application, via Docker, or directly with Node.js.
