Savings grow with every turn
An image is sent again on every later turn. On a real screenshot, 1,018 image tokens became 37 text tokens.
The ledger counts each image once, so a long conversation saves more than it shows. Over a 50 turn conversation: 50,900 tokens sent as pixels, 1,850 sent as words.
Fast redaction locally, no LLMs!
Upload a screenshot and every key in it is now in a provider’s logs, forever.
Cheapshot replaces API keys, tokens, passwords and private hostnames with
[AWS_KEY] style labels on your Mac, before any text leaves it.
Screenshots, PDFs and recordings
PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF and PDF, plus any video ffmpeg can open. A recording is read only where the screen changed: a 51 minute 4K talk became a 17 screen transcript in 35 seconds on an M4 Pro Mac mini, 31,348 image tokens to 1,133, 96% saved.
