Founder & CEO @rtk-ai — building RTK, the open-source CLI that cuts LLM token costs 60–90%. → rtk-ai.app

In January it was one Rust binary that made terminal output smaller. After months of work, RTK Pro is live for developers. Secrets caught before they leave your machine. Token spend by project. Rules enforced, not suggested. pro.rtk-ai.app

rtk 0.44.0 is out. New: SBT support, Kimi AI agent + Factory Droid integrations, git checkout rewriting, consolidated PHP tooling (phpunit/phpstan/pest/pint). Fixed: JetBrains Copilot IDE hooks, a deny-rule whitespace bypass, uv stdout handling. #rtk #token #claude #rust

Thanks to everyone for your support! 🙏 RTK has reached 13K GitHub stars. We're launching RTK Cloud soon. Sign up to be among the first 20 testers! Transition phase: improving contributor onboarding and code clarity. Contributions (bugs, ideas) remain open.
