Free Claude Session Optimizer: Token Estimator, Prompt Compressor, and Session Planner
A developer has released a free web tool called the Claude Session Optimizer to address common issues with Claude's usage limits. The tool requires no sign-up or email and is available at claude-session-optimizer.netlify.app.
Key Features
- Token Estimator: Paste any prompt or system message to see what percentage of your session budget it uses before sending. This helps identify what's consuming your context window.
- Prompt Compressor: Strips filler phrases and reduces prompts by 40-60% without losing meaning. For example, phrases like "I would really appreciate it if you could please..." are removed while maintaining the same intent.
- Session Planner: Add your daily tasks, and the tool groups them by type (code, write, research, finance) and splits them into efficient sessions to minimize context reloading.
The developer built the tool after personally experiencing Claude's limits mid-session, losing context, and wasting tokens on bloated prompts while running three businesses with Claude.
