Cut Claude Code token costs by ~50% with Headroom

Headroom is a menu bar app that quietly optimizes the inputs Claude Code gets by trimming prompt bloat, stripping boilerplate, and compressing documents without changing how you work. This unlocks about 2x as much Claude Code usage on the Claude plan you already pay for. Unlike the competition, the Headroom App is entirely open source and free to get started

Frustrated with Claude Code usage limits I stumbled upon the awesome Headroom project by Tejas Chopra. After jumping through the hoops to install it, I realized the majority of devs don't necessarily use python and aren't comfortable just installing pip packages so I set out to create a Mac App wrapper with Tejas blessing. Here it is! What Headroom does: It sits between your editor and Claude, compressing what gets sent — trimming redundant context, stripping boilerplate, and compressing documents — without dropping anything semantically meaningful. The result is roughly 2x more usage out of the same Claude plan. Everything runs locally. Your prompts never touch our servers.
