VIC-E TokenSaver

Local, cross-client token savings with built-in evidence

What it does

TokenSaver is a local context optimizer for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok, and other AI coding tools. It reduces repetitive logs, searches, file reads, and tool output before they consume paid model context. Unlike command-specific reducers, it provides one cross-client proxy, a native Rust engine, fail-open processing, adjustable profiles, and evidence reports showing measured savings, overhead, failures, and per-client results. Windows, macOS, and Linux; free for personal home use.

通过有界本地代理运行受支持的 AI 编程客户端,并使用本地生成的证据核验节省量、延迟、故障和并行容量。

使用标准内核和混合 cgroups 的 Ubuntu 20.04 不满足这些要求。TokenSaver 可以在旧系统上打开,但完整优化功能仍不可用。 TokenSaver keeps independent layers separate to prevent double counting provider, Codex transport, and command-output reductions. Average and maximum proxy overhead, end-to-end latency, proxy-observed TTFB, and processing time appear beside the savings. Provider failures, rate limits, and transport compression failures stay visible. When compression cannot finish safely, original data passes through. No prompts, responses, API keys, command arguments, paths, or model output are written into the evidence report. TokenSaver remains free.

    I built a small Chrome extension for people who write long conversations in Claude and don’t want to unexpectedly hit the 200,000-token limit. Context Compass automatically counts words and estimates token usage as you write. It updates in real time, gives you a visible percentage bar, and helps power users manage sprawling chats without losing work or flow. I built it because I kept getting the “max context” error and realized there was no way to track usage in Claude. No signups, no tracking, just a simple install. Would love any feedback or ideas for improvements. Thanks!

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
