Match report
UnoRouter is an OpenAI compatible LLM gateway, and it is climbing because it solves three small problems developers keep running into.
Too many keys: one UnoRouter key replaces separate accounts at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and open model hosts. Code keeps using the OpenAI SDK with a new base URL.
Outages: requests that fail or stall on one provider are retried on another healthy route, so apps keep answering.
Cost of experimenting: free models need no card, and paid models are prepaid per token without a subscription, so trying a new model costs a few cents rather than a new contract.
Add an open source codebase and a chat app that keeps history in the browser, and it is easy to see why it is showing up in more stacks. Guides for coding agents like Claude Code and Cline are at unorouter.com/docs.

Post-match questions
Why use a gateway instead of calling providers directly?
One key and one integration cover every provider, failed calls are retried elsewhere, and costs are tracked in one place.
Is UnoRouter safe to use?
Chats in the UnoRouter chat app are stored in your browser, not on our servers. Some providers keep or train on inputs; for those you see a notice or give consent once per provider before any request reaches them. All of the code is open source.
Is UnoRouter down?
Usually not: when a free model stops answering, every provider for that model is busy for a few minutes. Switch to another free model, or check the status page, which shows each model live.
