About Local

Local is a macOS app that runs AI on your own machine. It tunes itself to your chip with BaseRT, so chat, coding and meeting notes run faster on the same hardware, without your work leaving the device. Point it at a project and it reads, edits and runs code in place. Local reads your chip and memory, then recommends what to run. Tokens, speed per model, and what the same work would have cost through a cloud API.

About Throttle

Know when Claude Code will hit its limit, before it stops your work. Throttle puts your 5-hour and weekly usage in the macOS menu bar, predicts your cap, runs every project from one cockpit, and trims token waste. 100% local, no account. Run every project from one cockpit; idle sessions hibernate before RAM runs out. Exact when you're signed in, a clearly-degraded estimate when you're not, never a confident number that might be wrong.
