gglucass / headroom-desktop
Menu bar app for macOS, Windows and Linux that cuts Claude Code and ChatGPT Codex token costs by ~50%
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
Headroom is signed and notarized on macOS, so it opens without Gatekeeper warnings. All install paths self-update via the app's built-in updater; the Homebrew cask stays current with each release too.
Get started
brew install --cask headroom- Maintenance
