Description

A free, local-first tracker for AI coding token usage and cost across 41 tools and agents, broken down by model, project, and task, with no proxy and no API keys.

Key Features

  • 41 tools supported - auto-detects local session data from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Grok, and more
  • Multi-dimensional breakdowns - splits every token and dollar by task, model, tool, and project
  • Waste scanning and fixes - the optimize command finds re-reads and low cache hits, applies config fixes, and supports undo
  • Budget guard - opt-in Claude Code hooks enforce soft and hard caps that warn or stop overspending sessions
  • Model comparison - ranks models on one-shot rate, retry rate, and cost per call from your own sessions
  • Multiple surfaces - TUI dashboard, local web charts, a macOS menubar app, and a Windows tray app

Use Cases

💡 Find out how much of your monthly AI bill went to conversation instead of code.
💡 Spot sessions where an expensive model burned budget on trivial work and rebalance model choice.
💡 Set soft and hard cost caps on Claude Code so a runaway session cannot drain your budget.
💡 Correlate AI sessions with git commits using the yield command to measure what spending shipped.

Strengths & Limitations

✅ Strengths

  • • Actively maintained, recent updates
  • • High community interest (10.9k stars)
