I built an open source tool which aggregates all of your Claude Code token consumption - you can see on a conversation, branch or project level how many tokens used and what the cost of that usage would be, going by its pay-as-you-go tier - which I think is relevant given the generous plans we use now have a very limited shelf-life… I believe. Everything works client-side, it doesn’t track anything to do with your conversations, consumption etc. Anthropic store a treasure trove of data locally in your Claude/Projects folder. My app, Tokenoptics, doesn’t have a database, it just has two Formspree forms - one for feedback and another for registering future interest. It really is eye-opening to see what the costs would be from some of our dev work - it would’ve cost me $70 just to remove a chunk of ‘AI’ functionality - which I decided it doesn’t actually need (it has none, currently). https://preview.redd.it/63q113fsyg0h1.png?width=3420&format=png&auto=webp&s=14e9240df6228f7d13d0f4a9cbee376b612e74d4 https://preview.redd.it/9efb53fsyg0h1.png?width=3420&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c11e61c25eba1ca0545660425a14f08464de498 As we become more heavily reliant on code-gen tools, transparency is going to be essential, especially as prices continue to increase. I think this comment will make a lot of people on this site angry but I do believe it is reality. Would love to get some feedback. *It only works for Chromium and Claude Code users. submitted by /u/Bren-dev
