ShadowGate · Tech Cave

One API key. Multiple models. No data retention.

A privacy-first inference gateway that proxies multiple LLM providers behind a single key. Metadata-only logging — we never store your prompts or responses. Billing by Stripe. Built to stay in the shadows.

Why ShadowGate

Gatekeeping access to AI models, while staying in the shadows.

🔑

API key management

One key to rule them all. Generate, revoke and rotate keys from a single dashboard — no more scattering provider keys across your stack.

🔗

Multi-provider proxy

Route to local and cloud LLMs through one consistent interface. Switch models without rewriting your integration.

🛡

Metadata-only logging

We log timestamps, model and usage counts for billing — never your content. No persistence of prompts or responses. No profiling.

💳

Stripe billing

Simple, transparent monthly plans. Payments processed securely by Stripe, in Australian dollars.

📈

Usage you can see

Clear usage dashboards so you know what you’re paying for, with no hidden data collection on the side.

🔒

Privacy by design

The no-retention guarantee isn’t a policy line — it’s how the gateway is engineered.
