Building a token saver app for developers

I am a heavy vibe coder and use 3Cs (claude code, codex and cursor) for all the apps I build.

I have already built 2 apps. But I shipped them too late. Because I used to run out of my limits very easily. And it was a very tedious task of telling ai what to do again and again.

So I decided to build a token saver app that removes all the unnecessary words that don't provide anything to the context. Currently I am shipping it for linux users (as I am a linux user).

Here's a demo of the app works.

You type your prompt normally and then press ctrl + space to compress it.

Tired of Claude Code burning $10 in tokens on my Linux terminal, so I built a local middleware ( X11 ).

My agent was sending way too much redundant terminal noise and context.

As I am a rust dev, so I wrote a small tool that intercepts the clipboard on X11 and prunes the noise before it hits the API.

Now It saves me about 40% on my last bill.

It's specifically for X11 right now. Would love for a few other Linux devs to try it out and tell me if it breaks your workflow.
