What each tool is for

CCPrune, when a chat has grown too long

Long Claude Code sessions carry a lot of dead weight: repeated output, finished detours, old file dumps. /compact summarises the chat and forgets details. CCPrune, a Mac app, goes through the saved chat and removes only what Claude no longer needs, so your decisions, constraints and open issues stay. In one real session it went from 609k to 278k tokens. Every prune can be undone. Get a free lifetime license key, or choose your own amount.

Usage HUD, so limits don't surprise you

A free, open-source Claude Code plugin that shows your 5-hour and weekly usage, how full the context window is, how long the prompt cache stays warm and an estimated session cost, right above your prompt. It is read-only and makes no network calls of its own.

iLoveAudioVideo, for audio and video files

Turn audio and video into text, make subtitles, and compress, convert or trim videos. Your files are never uploaded. It is free.

Buddy, for messages to your own AI assistant

Chat on WhatsApp or Telegram. Buddy runs on your Mac or Windows computer and uses free AI models. It is free.
