Local Route Launcher: app-specific launch settings for macOS

Description and use

<p>I wanted a simpler way to launch a compatible ChatGPT installation with a local HTTP proxy while leaving my Mac’s system proxy and DNS settings alone. Switching system-wide settings was inconvenient when other applications needed different configurations.</p> <p>I built <strong>Local Route Launcher</strong>, a free, MIT-licensed utility written in SwiftUI and AppKit. It saves a proxy host and port, then passes that configuration to the target application when it starts. It uses a proxy you already run; it does not provide a proxy service.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <ul> <li>Saves local HTT
