Terse is an on-device AI agent butler for macOS and Windows (with Chrome and VS Code extensions). It watches the AI coding agents you already run — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Cline, Windsurf, OpenClaw, and Aider — and handles the parts that quietly cost you money: - Compresses every prompt 40–70% before it hits the API, meaning preserved. - Monitors each agent live — tokens, cost, cache efficiency, burn rate, context fill. - Stops runaway agents with a budget circuit breaker that pauses or kills the process before the next API call. - Manages your MCP servers — discover, risk-score, and toggle without editing JSON. - Diagnoses waste with 25 one-click Doctor scans. Everything runs locally. Your prompts and sessions never leave your machine. How it works ⭐ If Terse saves you tokens, drop a star — it's the fastest way to help other developers find it. --- See it Overview dashboard Agent health, spend, burn rate & context at a glance.
