How I got my Mac to read my Claude Code chats at night to extend token usage
TLDR
A developer built a system on macOS that has Claude's chat transcripts read aloud at night using the OS text-to-speech engine, allowing passive review without consuming Claude tokens for re-reads. The approach recovered roughly a third of the author's weekly quota that had been going to reading files Claude had already seen. The script watches the local Claude Code transcript directory and is shared on GitHub.
