Token Meter

For Claude Code on the Mac

Know what is left, and what every chat costs.

It reads the chats Claude Code already saves on this Mac and shows what is left of the 5-hour and weekly limit, what each chat has cost, and the changes that would save money.

The chats stay on the Mac. A paired phone reaches the same dashboard over an encrypted tunnel you control.

The menu-bar app is not released yet. Everything on this page is the dashboard that runs today.

What it shows

Four pages, fed by the chats already on this Mac, updated within seconds while you work.

Left in the block, left in the week

A ring of small pixels shows how much of the 5-hour block is used, with the weekly limit inside it, and a pace line under it: what a day lasts, and where the week ends at this speed.

Week 59% left · resets Wed

Warnings that say what to do

Past the soft cap, a subagent running for hours, a budget at 80%, a limit that runs out before it resets: each warning names the chat it is about.

A card per running chat

Context, cost, what its subagents cost, how many prompts it took, and whether it is past the soft cap. One line each, newest first.

Local by design

Chats are read from the folder Claude Code writes them to and never uploaded. Over the network: the limits request, a public price list, and — only when phone access is on — your own encrypted tunnel.

History you can read

Spend by hour or by day, stacked by model, over a block, a day, a week or any range you pick. Click a bar to open that hour; drag to set the range.

History: spend per hour for today, stacked by model, with tiles for spend, tokens and cost per hour.

Answers, not just charts

The Save screen turns the last 7 days into a few concrete changes, each with the dollars it would have saved.
