Throttle: Local Claude Cockpit for macOS
A local solution optimizing Claude usage with remote control capabilities.
1What is Throttle?
Originally a menu bar meter for Claude code usage, Throttle has evolved into a full-featured cockpit. The free version shows Claude metrics without any data collection or telemetry.
2Pro Features
The Pro version consolidates all Claude projects on your Mac into one window. It offers advanced features like embedded terminals with SwiftTerm, memory management, and session handoff to Linux servers.
3Token Optimization
Throttle automatically audits Claude.md files to prevent unnecessary token usage. Its optimization can reduce output tokens by 65-75% through concise output styles and memory pruning.
4Data Privacy
All processing happens locally or in the user's private iCloud database. No usage data or transcripts are ever sent to the developer's servers, ensuring complete privacy.
5Pricing
The Pro version is available for a one-time payment of €29 with a 30-day no-questions-asked refund policy. It can save users $100-200 monthly on Claude API costs.
6Future Plans
iOS and Vision Pro apps are coming soon. The developer seeks user feedback to determine which optimizations should be automated while maintaining transparency and control.
