Headroom

Headroom cuts Claude Code token costs by ~50%

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

Ideal for developers and teams looking to maximize their AI coding assistant investment.
