# Folkbench/folkbench

> A Tauri + Rust desktop client for switching between AI relay providers and official endpoints: it stores Base URLs and API keys and writes them into the configs of Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other tools. It is paired with a public ranking of relays by availability, latency and price.

- Magnitude: 2.8 out of 10 — Breakout
- Stars: 1,617 total · +62 stars measured 2026-10-18, 02:46–11:48 UTC, ≈ 169 by evening
- Star trust: unusual star pattern (heuristic)

## Useful for

- Switch Claude Code or Codex to another relay without editing configs by hand
- Compare availability, latency and price of several relays before picking a line
- Estimate token usage and call cost per session locally

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-18 (UTC), 02:46–11:48: 1555 → 1617 stars (+62). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +169 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2.3× that of the previous week and a half.
- The repository is 16 days old and already has 1,617 stars.
- Top new repositories this month: #95.

## Star trust

Unusual star pattern (heuristic).
- Very few forks: 9 for 1,617 stars. Active projects usually have 3–15 forks per 100 stars.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 9
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 9
- Average over the last week: 204 per day
- Usual pace: 20 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 10
- Latest release: switch-v0.1.0-beta.4 (2026-10-17)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
