Open-source OptimAIzr CLI audits Codex/Claude Code token waste, finds ~11% of spend optimizable
stichstichstich · reddit · 2026-10-02
Developer stichstichstich built OptimAIzr, a local-first CLI that analyzes Claude Code/Codex usage and pinpoints token waste, now open-sourced.
- profile: usage health check
- live: catches waste and recommends optimizations in real time while you work
On his own usage: 1.25B tokens in 3 weeks, 1 in 5 calls flagged, and roughly 11% of API-equivalent spend looks optimizable — mostly model mismatch and oversized output. The project hit 2k npm downloads and 1.5k unique web visitors in two weeks. GitHub: github.com/blendbunjaku/optimaizr.
