Show HN: Throttle – Local Claude Cockpit for macOS, now with remote control

Indie developer Kevin of lorisLabs launched Throttle, a local macOS cockpit for Claude Code that monitors token usage and optimizes prompts, now with remote control capabilities. The free version offers a no-telemetry usage meter, while the Pro version (€29 one-time) provides an AI assistant that audits and optimizes claude.md files, auto-archives stale memory, and reduces output tokens by up to 75%, all running locally or on iCloud.

Kevin here, indie dev lorisLabs. Thorttle started as a menu bar meter for Claude code usage, and grow into a cockpit you have the full claude meter as expected with no telemetry, no network. and that in the free version. Pro is where it got interesting : Cockpit have every claude code project on your Mac in one window. Each embedded terminal using SwiftTerm, auto hibernate to keep a 16gb Mac from getting out of memory. Remote Control that hand a session off to any linux server I use proxmox I have a IOS and Vision Pro app coming up soon my main goal and what I prefer: Claude code burn a lot of token you dont even see... bloated claude.md files & stale memory, dead skills, barbs output ... Throttle optimiser with a AI assistant that audit your claude.md and settings.json hook with a real read file tool call emit search/replace... autopilot applied automatically concise output style 65/75% fewer output tokens usage statusline, auto -archive of orphaned project memory, riskier one stale memory cleanup, dead skill pruning stay opt in and guarded. session start + re compact hook that prune irrelevant memory before it every reacts the context window. All this is measurable not guessed you have a token saver and stats, mine reads 78M saved this week again 1b used EVERYTHING RUN LOCAL or in your own iCloud private database. No server of mine ever see your transcripts or usage or telemetry... and if you want just the free meter : https://github.com/lorislabapp/throttle-meter https://github.com/lorislabapp/throttle-meter MIT for all this saving stuff and pro version features, 29€ one time 2 Mac 30days no questions refund not joking it saving me a lot I WOULD LOVE FEEDBACKS Which optimisation would you trust an app to do automatically and with must stay a reviewed patch? The usage math comes from local JSONL, not claude.ai's API does it match what you see?? 29€ one time for people paying 100/200USD a bond for max, fair? -- Anything else really Thank for looking Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48928918 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48928918 Points: 1 Comments: 0
