optimAIzr, an open-source tool for tracking and optimizing AI coding usage across Claude Code, Codex and opencode, shipped v0.13.0 with a VS Code extension showing context usage, cache countdowns, the 5-hour limit and potential savings directly in the editor. Free, fully local, 187 GitHub stars. The dashboard breaks down waste sources (cold-cache returns, oversized context, model mismatch) and estimates up to 13% usage savings, showing a Claude Pro sub doing $685/mo of work at API prices.
