Local-first routing for coding agents
Give every token a job.
Zhunt routes coding-agent requests locally, sends them directly to the provider you choose, and shows you what actually happened. The local core is free; Pro adds history, policy controls, multiple-app support, and richer cost reports.
Card required for the trial. £0 today · £5/month after the trial. Your provider billing remains separate.

The simple version
Your app stays the same.
Zhunt does the sorting.
Keep your workflow
Install a recipe for Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or VS Code. Your app keeps speaking its native protocol.
See the trade-off
Review the selected model, projected cost, escalations, and session behavior. No black-box “trust us” score.
The provider boundary
Your prompt is inspected locally.
Zhunt analyzes the request—and, when needed, recent conversation context—on your machine before selecting a route. It does not upload prompts to Zhunt for classification.
After a route is selected, the request goes directly from your machine to OpenRouter or Nous Portal. The provider you choose still receives the prompt, just as it would if you used that provider directly.
Local by default
- Provider keys stay on your machine in
~/.zhunt/envwith restrictive file permissions. - Zhunt does not proxy requests through its own servers.
- Prompts, responses, and provider keys are excluded from telemetry.
- You can inspect or delete local credentials at any time.
A better first conversation
Show people the bill they can understand.
Start with a small, private benchmark. Compare the model your app normally uses with the route Zhunt would choose. Keep quality and latency separate from cost so a cheap number never pretends to be a good answer.
