Like every ISP router, the Zyxel T-56 that came with my [Odido](https://www.odido.nl/) fibre has a rubbish web UI.
Want to use a password manager to fill in your login details? Nope.
Enjoy buttons that inexplicably look like this?
Can’t find the setting you need? Have fun hunting through every screen.
I built Fyxel to control my router. Here’s what it looks like: Having a native app also means you can do useful stuff like putting the login details in Keychain. Or building a cli tool so that your agent can also configure your router. Or having a shortcut key to search every single piece of functionality from one bar.
Try it #
Download the DMG from Fyxel’s GitHub releases.
Build your own #
- Log into your router’s web UI
- Copy the session cookie and paste it into Claude
- Ask it to discover the API and build a native UI
- Voila!
