About headroom-desktop

Headroom Desktop — cut Claude Code & Codex token costs by 50% Headroom is a macOS menu bar app that cuts Claude Code and OpenAI Codex token costs by 50% — without changing how you code. It runs a local-first optimization pipeline that reversibly compresses the tool output, logs, and boilerplate that bloat every prompt, so the AI plan you already pay for stretches about 2x further. Nothing the model needs is lost — it can pull the original content back on demand. Paid product. Headroom is a paid subscription app (7-day free trial, plans from $3/mo) — see pricing.
