Hecate is an open-source AI gateway, coding-agent console, and agent-task runtime for routing OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible traffic across cloud and local models, running external coding agents as supervised local adapters, controlling spend, and running agent work behind policy, approvals, and OpenTelemetry.

Hecate is a local-first AI gateway and agent console that routes cloud and local models, runs tool agents, supervises coding agents like Codex/Claude Code/Cursor, and provides observability. It offers a desktop app and Docker deployment for local operation.
