We're developers who lean on AI coding tools every day. The output was worth it — the invoices, less so. Most of what we were paying for was redundant context shipped to the model over and over again.
So we built a small gate that sits between the editor and the model, trims the waste, and forwards a leaner request. It runs locally, uses your own keys, and never sees your code. In about a month of internal testing it's cut our API spend by 40–70% depending on the model — without changing a single answer.
TokenBeaver is independent and intentionally simple. Local-first by design, no lock-in, no surprise pricing. If it saves you money, keep it. If it doesn't, the free tier costs you nothing.
Your prompts, code, and keys stay on your machine. Privacy isn't a setting — it's the architecture.
One Pro plan, a real free tier, and no usage traps. You always know what you'll pay.
Every optimization is visible. We'd rather under-claim and show you the numbers.
No investors to please, no growth-at-all-costs. Just a tool that earns its keep on your machine.
