About Paritok
Paritok is an innovative open-source developer tool designed to optimize your coding agent workflow by significantly reducing token consumption and extending session lengths. Created by makers Jasper Shi and Luzhuo Chen, Paritok addresses one of the most frustrating bottlenecks in AI-assisted development: rapidly inflating token bills and short session limits caused by bloated context windows.
By intelligently compressing the tools, files, and history that your coding agent sends, Paritok helps you save up to 85% on your token bill while allowing you to run 3× longer coding agent sessions. Best of all, it operates with just two simple commands, ensures that nothing is lost in translation, and runs fully locally to protect your workflow privacy.

About Vizhi
Vizhi (derived from the Tamil word for "eye") acts as a specialized mission control dashboard for monitoring and managing your Codex CLI sessions. Developed by indie developer Ravi Shankar, Vizhi is designed to keep an eye on active execution sessions so developers don't have to constantly tab back and forth into their terminal windows.
The tool provides deep integration with hardware controllers like the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, enabling users to keep track of up to six live sessions simultaneously. Through this physical interface, developers can perform quick action executions, such as one-press session approvals, and issue local voice prompts powered by Whisper.
For developers who do not own a hardware keypad, Vizhi provides a local browser dashboard that offers visibility and control over active sessions. As an open-source developer tool available on GitHub, Vizhi fits seamlessly into terminal-centric AI development workflows.
Pros of Vizhi
- Monitors up to six live Codex CLI sessions simultaneously
- Integrates with Logitech MX Creative Keypad for tactile, one-press approvals
- Supports local Whisper voice prompts for easy command input
- Offers a local browser dashboard for users without a physical keypad
- Open-source developer tool available on GitHub
Cons of Vizhi
- Full physical experience requires a specific device (Logitech MX Creative Keypad)
- Designed specifically around Codex CLI workflows rather than general terminal tasks
