Token Monitor

Token Monitor is a local-first desktop app that tracks live tokens, costs, and limits across coding tools.

Token Monitor is a local-first desktop app designed to track live tokens, costs, limits, sessions, and history across more than 30 AI coding tools. It runs locally by reading usage summaries and rendering them through various interfaces like an Edge Dock, custom menu bar, floating bubble, and native macOS widgets. Users can also view activity heatmaps and charts in a full dashboard window, and optionally set up a self-hosted sync hub to roll up token usage from multiple devices. The app ensures privacy by never syncing raw prompts, conversation transcripts, credentials, or provider responses, focusing solely on counts, costs, and labels. It is built for developers who use multiple AI coding assistants and need a centralized, privacy-respecting way to monitor their usage and expenses.
