codeburn

Codeburn shows you where your AI coding tokens go. Install it, run it, and get a TUI dashboard breaking down cost by project, model, and session across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and others. No API keys needed: it reads the session files these tools already store on your machine.

Setup is one command: npx codeburn. Pricing data pulls from LiteLLM and caches for 24 hours. Beyond raw cost, it classifies your sessions into task types (debugging, testing, coding) and calculates one-shot success rates so you can see which tasks burn tokens on retries.

Anyone paying for AI coding tools should run this once just to see the numbers. The macOS menubar app gives passive cost awareness without opening a terminal. The optimize command flags waste patterns like repeated failures on the same task.

The catch: it only knows about tools that store session data locally. If your AI tool does not write to disk (or you have not used it on this machine), codeburn cannot see it.
