Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to common questions about SaveMeTokens.

SaveMeTokens is a lightweight background app for Linux that compresses your AI prompts before they're sent — cutting token usage by 50–70% without changing your workflow. You type normally in any app (VS Code, browser, terminal), press Ctrl + Space, and your prompt is instantly optimized in place.

SaveMeTokens strips the fluff that AI models don't need — filler phrases, redundant context, unnecessary politeness, repeated instructions — and rewrites your prompt into the shortest version that preserves the full intent. Think of it as a lossless zip for language: the AI gets the same signal, you pay for far fewer tokens. The entire process runs locally on your machine and completes in under a second.

Yes — completely local. SaveMeTokens runs entirely on your machine. Your prompts are never sent to our servers, logged, or stored anywhere. The compression happens in-process, and the optimized text is pasted back into your cursor position. We have zero visibility into what you're typing. Your data stays yours, always.

SaveMeTokens currently supports Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) via a .deb package. It works system-wide — any app with a text field, including VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Cursor, browsers (Chrome, Firefox), and terminals. Windows and macOS versions are in development and coming soon. Follow @PromptStudio1 for updates.

After completing your purchase on the website, your license key is emailed to you immediately. On first launch, SaveMeTokens will show an activation dialog — paste your key in and press OK. The key is bound to that machine and saved permanently; you'll never be asked again. If you need to transfer your license to a new machine, contact support and we'll sort it out.

Most users save 50–70% on token costs per prompt. The exact saving depends on how verbose your prompts are — the more filler and repetition, the more we strip. Heavy Claude or GPT-4o users writing long prompts regularly can realistically recoup the cost of a SaveMeTokens subscription within a few days of API usage. The app shows you a live token and dollar savings counter in the tray icon so you can track it yourself.

No. SaveMeTokens is designed to preserve the full intent and meaning of your prompt — only the waste is removed. In practice, compressed prompts often produce better responses because models perform well with clear, direct instructions and can get confused by rambling or redundant context. If you ever feel a prompt was over-compressed, you can edit it before sending.

We offer a 7-day no-questions-asked refund from the date of purchase. If SaveMeTokens isn't working for you for any reason, email us within 7 days and we'll issue a full refund — no hoops, no back-and-forth. After 7 days, monthly plans can be cancelled anytime and won't renew; annual plans are non-refundable but can be cancelled to stop future billing. Reach out at @PromptStudio1 on X or via the support page.
