ZeroBurn: Stop burning AI credits. Start routing smart.
Local-first AI routing that sends routine tasks to free local models and uses premium APIs only when needed.

License key delivered instantly. Works on Mac + Linux. Requires Ollama.
The Problem
This was a real bill.
One overnight session. $77 in a single day. No guardrails, no routing, no visibility.
ZeroBurn exists because of this.
Actual Claude API spend — March 2026
ZeroBurn is a local-first AI routing layer that installs on your Mac or Linux machine. It intercepts requests from your AI setup and routes tasks to free local models (via Ollama), only sending to expensive cloud APIs when genuinely necessary. Every setup is different — results depend on your workflow, model selection, and how you use AI. But for many users, the reduction in unnecessary API spend is significant.
