For people who live in Claude Code
Tare is the one-time tune-up for Claude Code. It stops the redundant re-reads, trims bloated tool output, and paces you under the rate limit — then keeps a ledger to prove every token it saved.
Full-power free for 7 days. Watch it save 2× its price before you pay a cent.
Your agent burns through the window re-reading the same files, dumping 800-line tool outputs into context, and running shell that never needed to be that verbose. You don't see it happening — until the rate limit stops you mid-task.
Redundant re-reads. The same file pulled into context five times in one session — paid for five times.
Oversized output. A single command spills thousands of tokens you'll never read, crowding out the work.
No visibility. You can't tell which tool ate the budget, so you can't fix it.
The wall. The window empties early, and you're locked out exactly when you're in flow.
A scale's tare weight is the part you subtract so you only measure what matters. Tare does the same to your context window — it runs locally, watches the real traffic, and quietly removes the dead weight before a token is ever spent.
Tare recognises a file already sitting in context and stops the agent from pulling it in again. The re-read never happens, so the tokens are never spent.
Huge tool results get spilled to a local file and replaced with a compact, recoverable summary. The signal stays in context; the bloat goes to disk where you can still reach it.
As context tightens, Tare gets more aggressive automatically — and it self-tunes against your real usage patterns, entirely on your machine. Nothing leaves your laptop.
Live savings and rate-limit pacing render right in the Claude Code statusline, backed by an append-only ledger. No "trust me" — the receipts are on disk.
Tare keeps an append-only ledger of what it actually removed — measured, not estimated. Run one command and read the receipt for your day.
Example ledger output — numbers from the maintainer's own machine (N=1). Yours are measured from your sessions.
The headline number plus the breakdown — re-reads blocked, output trimmed, shell compressed — for the current day.
Trends across sessions so you can see how much head-room Tare is buying you over a week or a sprint.
Raw, tamper-evident records of every intervention. Measured savings, not marketing math.
Audits your Claude Code setup for token overhead and flags anything that needs attention.
Experiment with how hard Tare trims, locally, against your own traffic — and promote the policy that wins.
One command removes it completely. No lock-in, nothing left behind, your ledger stays yours.
One paste starts a 7-day full-power trial — real enforcement, real savings, real receipts, no key required. Watch the ledger cross 2× the price, then keep it for $49. On day 8, Tare settles into a free measure-only mode; it never locks you out and never bricks.

You're already paying for the AI. Tare's job is to make that bill go further — charging you monthly to save money would be its own kind of waste.
So it's a single payment, it runs on your machine, and the ledger keeps it honest. If a slow week passes and it saved you nothing, you'll know — because it's all on the record.
