Token Tracker is a local-first dashboard and desktop application that records AI token usage and costs across coding tools. It is for developers who want to monitor their coding-tool consumption, model usage, rate limits, and spending without relying on a cloud account.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.05321 | $0.05321 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.02128 | $0.02128 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.01064 | $0.01064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00532 | $0.00532 |
Grade A, and why
TokenTracker CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project shape
Token Tracker is a local-first AI token usage tracker.
- CLI (
src/, CommonJS, Node ≥20) — entrybin/tracker.js→src/cli.js.serveruns a local HTTP server on:7680,syncparses logs into~/.tokentracker/queue.jsonl. - Dashboard (
dashboard/, React 18 + Vite 7 + TS strict + Tailwind) — built todashboard/dist/, served by the CLI locally and by Vercel atwww.tokentracker.cc. - macOS app (
TokenTrackerBar/, Swift 5.9, XcodeGen) — menu bar + WidgetKit.EmbeddedServer/bundles the CLI runtime + built dashboard so the.appis self-contained. - Windows app (
TokenTrackerWin/, .NET 8 WinForms + WPF + WebView2) — system-tray counterpart of the macOS app. Launches the bundled CLIserveon a dynamic loopback port (avoids the DoSvc-held:7680), hosts the dashboard in WebView2, registers thetokentracker://deep-link for OAuth. BuiltEmbeddedServer/(Node + CLI + dashboard) is bundled byscripts/bundle-node.ps1so the.exeis self-contained. Dashboard adaptations are gated behindisNativeWindowsApp()(dashboard/src/lib/native-bridge.js) so macOS/web paths are untouched.
Data flow: AI CLI runs → hook fires → rollout.js parses → queue.jsonl → local API → dashboard.
For the canonical list of supported providers, grep parse*Incremental in src/lib/rollout.js — the source of truth, not this file.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

TokenTracker CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository xiufengsun/TokenTracker (2,143 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 5,321 tokens to every session, about $0.0213 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
