  • Formats for 31 AI tools instead of locking you into one platform
  • Local-first with zero telemetry and no cloud sync unless explicitly configured
  • Measures token waste with your own data before charging anything
  • Reverses AI damage with one button undo functionality
  • No login required to start measuring token usage
