Arief-Labs
Desktop AI chat that costs less than Claude Pro
Free desktop AI chat for Claude & OpenAI APIs. Real-time cost tracking shows exactly what you spend vs Claude Pro $20/month. Local storage, encrypted keys, multi-provider support. No subscription limits — pay only for what you use.
I hit Claude Pro message limits mid-month and got frustrated paying $20/month with restrictions. So I decided to build my own — an app that connects directly to the Claude API and shows me exactly what I'm spending.
The key insight: most people don't realize how cheap Claude actually is when you use it directly. A heavy month for me costs $10-15, not $20. And I have zero limits.
I built the whole thing with Claude Code (using Claude itself). The cost dashboard was the game-changer — seeing real-time costs per message changed how I use AI. Now I can compare Claude vs OpenAI side-by-side and pick the best tool for the job.
It's free to download and your data stays local. Would love feedback from the Product Hunt community!
Questions? I'm here all day. 🚀
