Privacy Compared

Where your data goes and who can see it across different AI products.

Privacy in AI products depends on two things: who handles your data and where it is stored. Chapeta minimizes data exposure by keeping conversation history local while proxying requests to OpenRouter and model providers.

ChatGPT

Chapeta
Local-first with proxy routing. Chapeta stores conversations locally on your Mac. API requests route through Chapeta's proxy to OpenRouter and then to the selected model provider. Chapeta does not store full conversation content as part of normal operation; server logs focus on operational metadata and limited error/debug fragments. Your API key is stored in the macOS Keychain.

The Key Difference

Many competitors store full chat history in cloud accounts by default. Chapeta keeps conversation history local on your Mac and uses a lightweight proxy layer for request routing and billing controls.
