🏆 Unlock achievements from the way you actually code.

🎬 Meet TokenTracker

⭐ If TokenTracker saves you time, please star it on GitHub — it helps other developers find it.

⚡ Quick Start

Requirements: Node.js 20+ (CLI runs on macOS / Linux / Windows; native desktop app ships for both macOS (menu bar) and Windows (system tray). Cursor token reading uses the system sqlite3 CLI when available and falls back to node:sqlite on supported Node releases).

npx tokentracker-cli

That's it. First run installs hooks, syncs your data, and opens the dashboard at http://localhost:7680.

What you get in 30 seconds:

• 📊 A local dashboard at localhost:7680 with usage trends, model breakdown, cost analysis
• 🔌 Auto-detected hooks for every supported AI tool you have installed
• 🏠 100% local — no account, no API keys, no network calls (except optional leaderboard)
• 🧩 Optional: a Skills tab that browses 250+ public skills and syncs them across Claude · Codex · Grok · Antigravity · Gemini · OpenCode · Hermes

Want a native desktop app?

• macOS — Download TokenTrackerBar.dmg → drag to Applications. Menu bar status icon, desktop widgets, and the dashboard in a WKWebView.
• Windows — Download TokenTracker-Setup.exe → run the per-user installer (no admin needed). System-tray app with the dashboard in WebView2. Portable zip also on the releases page.

Install globally for shorter commands:

npm i -g tokentracker-cli

tokentracker              # Open the dashboard
tokentracker sync         # Manual sync
tokentracker status       # Check hook status
tokentracker status --json     # Machine-readable summary (pipe to jq, ingest from AI agents)
tokentracker status --light    # Plain ASCII table (CI / SSH, no spinner)
tokentracker doctor       # Health check

🍺 Homebrew (macOS)

Prefer brew? Install directly — no extra tap step needed:

# macOS menu bar app (DMG)
brew install --cask mm7894215/tokentracker/tokentracker

# CLI only
brew install mm7894215/tokentracker/tokentracker

Upgrade with brew upgrade --cask mm7894215/tokentracker/tokentracker. The tap auto-bumps within an hour of every new release.

Do I need to install any plugin or hook manually? No. tokentracker (or tokentracker init) handles everything on first run:

• Hook-based tools (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Every Code, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, Grok Build) — we write a SessionEnd hook or TOML notify entry into the tool's own config.
• Plugin-based tools (OpenCode, OpenClaw) — plugins ship inside the npm package. OpenClaw's session plugin lives at ~/.tokentracker/tracker/openclaw-plugin/openclaw-session-sync/; we link and enable it via OpenClaw's own CLI, then set hooks.allowConversationAccess=true so OpenClaw permits the session-finished event that triggers sync. No download, no drag-and-drop.
• Passive readers (Cursor, Kiro, Hermes, Kimi Code, Copilot, Grok Build, oh-my-pi, pi, Craft Agents, Kilo CLI, Kilo Code, Roo Code, Antigravity, Zed Agent, Goose, Droid, Mimo Code, ZCode, AnythingLLM Desktop) — nothing is installed into those tools. We only read files they already produce (SQLite DB, JSONL, OTEL export, session logs). Copilot App / CLI usage is read per request from ~/.copilot/session-store.db; data.db provides the one-time legacy adoption baseline and stays observe-only after the store becomes canonical, while the Chat extension and legacy CLI continue using OTEL. TokenTracker coordinates the sources so overlapping requests are counted once. Mixed App/CLI usage that predates adoption is retained as a github-copilot-legacy aggregate rather than assigned to a guessed request model.
• Grok Build estimate — current local telemetry exposes cumulative updates.jsonl totalTokens, but not a stable prompt/output/cache split; signals.json remains a fallback with contextTokensUsed snapshots. TokenTracker estimates Grok cost until per-call usage details are available.

Run tokentracker status anytime to verify every integration's state. If something shows skipped, the detail column explains why (e.g. tool CLI not on PATH, config unreadable).

🆚 Why TokenTracker?

Looking for a ccusage alternative with a GUI? TokenTracker covers 27 tools (not just Claude Code), adds native macOS and Windows apps + desktop widgets, and de-duplicates token records correctly across providers — so your numbers match the providers' own billing.

	TokenTracker	ccusage	Cursor stats
AI tools supported	27	1 (Claude)	1 (Cursor)
Local-first, no account	✅	✅	❌
Native desktop app	✅ macOS + Windows	❌	❌
Desktop widgets	✅ 4 widgets	❌	❌
Rate-limit tracking	✅ 7 providers	❌	Cursor only
Accurate multi-provider dedup	✅	❌ ¹	—

_{¹ reqId-based deduplication over-counts providers that omit a request ID (DeepSeek / Kimi / MiniMax / Claude sub-agents) by 1.6–3.7×. TokenTracker dedups on a composite key, so totals match each provider's own billing dashboard.}

    C -.->|opt-in| G[(Cloud Leaderboard)]

• AI CLI tools generate logs during normal use
• Lightweight hooks detect changes and trigger sync (Cursor uses API instead of hooks)
• Token counts parsed locally — never any prompt or response content
• Aggregated into 30-minute UTC buckets
• Dashboard, menu bar app, and widgets all read from the same local snapshot

🛡️ Privacy

Protection	Description
No content upload	Only token counts and timestamps. Never prompts, responses, or file contents.
Local-only by default	All data stays on your machine. The leaderboard is fully opt-in.
Auditable	Open source. Read src/lib/rollout.js — only numbers and timestamps.
Anonymous usage stats only	Two things phone home, both anonymous: (1) at most one daily heartbeat — a one-way hash of the machine id, app version, OS platform, and app shell (cli/mac/win); (2) anonymous dashboard pageview/feature events (PostHog — autocapture and session recording disabled, browser Do-Not-Track respected). Never token counts, model names, prompts, or paths. Audit src/lib/telemetry.js and dashboard/src/lib/analytics.js; one switch disables both on your machine: TOKENTRACKER_NO_TELEMETRY=1 (or DO_NOT_TRACK=1).

📦 Configuration

Most users never need this — defaults are sensible. For advanced setups:

Variable	Description	Default
TOKENTRACKER_DEBUG	Enable debug output (1 to enable)	—
TOKENTRACKER_NO_TELEMETRY	Disable all anonymous telemetry — daily heartbeat and dashboard analytics (1 to disable; the DO_NOT_TRACK standard is also respected)	—
TOKENTRACKER_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS	HTTP timeout in milliseconds	20000
TOKENTRACKER_WSL_MODE	WSL install resolution behavior on Windows (for aggregating native and WSL installations). wsl-first (prefer WSL), native-first, wsl-only, native-only, both (aggregate both installs)	wsl-first
CODEX_HOME	Override Codex CLI directory	~/.codex
GEMINI_HOME	Override Gemini CLI directory	~/.gemini
TOKENTRACKER_GROK_HOME	Override Grok Build directory for the Grok integration and Skills Manager	~/.grok
GROK_HOME	Legacy Grok Build directory override, used when TOKENTRACKER_GROK_HOME is unset	~/.grok
TOKENTRACKER_ANTIGRAVITY_HOME	Force a single Antigravity Skills directory (auto-detects ~/.gemini/antigravity + ~/.gemini/antigravity-ide otherwise)	auto

🐧 Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Auto-Discovery

If you run AI coding agents inside WSL on Windows, TokenTracker can auto-discover and aggregate metrics from both native Windows and WSL installations.

Configure this behavior using the TOKENTRACKER_WSL_MODE environment variable:

• both (Recommended): Scans and aggregates metrics from both native Windows and WSL.
• wsl-first (Default): Checks WSL first; if found, uses WSL metrics, otherwise falls back to Windows.
• native-first: Checks native Windows first; if found, uses Windows metrics, otherwise falls back to WSL.
• wsl-only: Scans WSL environment only.
• native-only: Scans native Windows environment only.

[!NOTE] Preference (-first) vs. Isolation (-only): Preference modes prioritize your choice but gracefully fall back to scanning the other environment if the tool is missing. Isolation modes strictly lock scanning to that single environment and ignore the other completely.

Supported providers for WSL auto-discovery and aggregation:

• Dual-Install Aggregation (both mode):
  • File-list & Active CLIs: Every Code, Kimi (legacy & Code), Gemini CLI, Antigravity, OpenCode (JSON), Codex CLI, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, oh-my-pi (omp), pi, GitHub Copilot (OTEL), Roo Code, Craft, Kilo Code, Droid.
  • SQLite-based DBs: Hermes, Zed Agent, Goose, OpenCode (opencode.db), Kilo CLI, Mimo Code, ZCode, GitHub Copilot (App DB).
• WSL Auto-Discovery (Preference/Isolation only, no dual aggregation):
  • Grok Build (dynamically selects either native or WSL depending on the mode, but does not aggregate both in both mode).

🛠️ Development

git clone https://github.com/mm7894215/TokenTracker.git
cd TokenTracker
npm install

# Build dashboard + run CLI
cd dashboard && npm install && npm run build && cd ..
node bin/tracker.js

# Tests
npm test

Building the macOS App

cd TokenTrackerBar
npm run dashboard:build              # Build the dashboard bundle
./scripts/bundle-node.sh             # Bundle Node.js + tokentracker source
xcodegen generate                    # Generate the Xcode project
ruby scripts/patch-pbxproj-icon.rb   # Patch in the Icon Composer asset
xcodebuild -scheme TokenTrackerBar -configuration Release clean build
./scripts/create-dmg.sh              # Package the .app into a DMG

Requires Xcode 16+ and XcodeGen.

🔧 Troubleshooting

CLI

"engines.node" or unsupported version error

TokenTracker requires Node 20+. Check your version:

node --version

If lower, upgrade via nvm, fnm, or your package manager (brew upgrade node, apt install nodejs).

Port 7680 already in use

The dashboard server picks the next free port automatically (7681, 7682, ...) when 7680 is taken. The actual port is logged on startup. If you want to force a specific port:

PORT=7700 tokentracker serve

To find what's holding 7680:

lsof -i :7680

WSL2 note: on Windows hosts the Delivery Optimization service (DoSvc) listens on 7680, and under NAT networking the conflict is invisible from inside WSL — the server starts fine but the Windows browser reaches DoSvc instead. TokenTracker therefore defaults to 7681 when running under WSL (logged on startup).

A provider isn't being detected

Check the integration status:

tokentracker status

Then run the doctor for a deeper health check:

tokentracker doctor

If a provider shows as not configured even though you use it, try tokentracker activate-if-needed to re-run hook detection. If still missing, open an issue with the doctor output attached.

How to uninstall hooks and remove all config

tokentracker uninstall

This removes every hook TokenTracker installed across all detected AI tools, plus the local config and data. Safe to re-run.

macOS App

"TokenTrackerBar can't be opened" — unidentified developer

TokenTrackerBar is ad-hoc signed (not notarized with an Apple Developer ID — that requires a paid developer account). Gatekeeper blocks it on first launch.

• Open System Settings → Privacy & Security
• Scroll to the Security section — you'll see "TokenTrackerBar was blocked to protect your Mac."
• Click Open Anyway
• Confirm with Open in the follow-up dialog (you'll need to authenticate)

You only need to do this once. Older macOS alternative: right-click the app in Finder → Open → Open in the confirmation dialog.

"TokenTrackerBar is damaged and can't be opened"

This is Gatekeeper reacting to the com.apple.quarantine attribute macOS attaches to every downloaded file — not an actual problem. Clear it once with:

xattr -cr /Applications/TokenTrackerBar.app

After that the app opens normally.

"TokenTrackerBar wants to access data from other apps"

This is required for the Cursor and Kiro integrations. They store auth tokens / usage data inside their own ~/Library/Application Support/ folders, which macOS protects with the App Management permission.

• ✅ Click Allow if you use Cursor or Kiro
• ❌ Click Don't Allow if you don't — those providers will be silently skipped, everything else keeps working

Once granted, the permission is remembered. Note that ad-hoc signed builds re-prompt after each upgrade because each build has a new signing identity.

🪪 README Badges

Show off your token usage on your GitHub profile or project README.

To get YOUR_USER_ID:

• Run tokentracker, open the dashboard, and sign in to the leaderboard.
• Go to Settings → Account.
• Use the User ID shown there. On headless machines, tokentracker device-login also writes the same user_id to ~/.tokentracker/tracker/config.json.

Then drop one of these in:

[![tokens](https://srctyff5.us-east.insforge.app/functions/tokentracker-badge-svg?user_id=YOUR_USER_ID&metric=tokens)](https://github.com/mm7894215/TokenTracker)
[![cost](https://srctyff5.us-east.insforge.app/functions/tokentracker-badge-svg?user_id=YOUR_USER_ID&metric=cost)](https://github.com/mm7894215/TokenTracker)
[![rank](https://srctyff5.us-east.insforge.app/functions/tokentracker-badge-svg?user_id=YOUR_USER_ID&metric=rank)](https://github.com/mm7894215/TokenTracker)

The link target defaults to the TokenTracker repo so every click helps other developers discover the tool. Swap it for your leaderboard profile, personal site, or https://www.tokentracker.cc if you'd rather route clicks elsewhere.

Renders shields.io-compatible badges with your current totals (60s cache):

Param	Values	Default
metric	tokens / cost / rank	tokens
period	week / month / total	total
style	flat / flat-square	flat
label	any short string	metric name
color	hex, e.g. ff6b35	brand green

Privacy: badges only resolve for profiles where leaderboard sharing is on (Settings → Account → Public profile). Private profiles get a "private" placeholder.
