Unleash the Power of Token Management! The Revolutionary Cost Management Tool “CodeBurn” is Here! 🦈
📰 News Summary
- Complete Visibility of AI Coding Costs: Track token usage for key tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, and Pi by task.
- No API Keys or Proxies Required: This tool reads session data stored locally, ensuring security without the usual hassle.
- Powerful Analytics: Features a “One-shot Success Rate” that calculates whether tokens were wasted on “fixes and tests” or if a task was completed successfully in one go.
💡 Key Highlights
- Support for Multiple Providers: Normalizes tool names across platforms (like Bash execution and file reading) for seamless comparison.
- Interactive TUI Dashboard: Offers an engineer-friendly terminal UI complete with gradient charts and responsive panels.
- Supports Japanese Yen (JPY): Compatible with 162 currencies, it retrieves rates from the European Central Bank, making cost calculations in JPY a breeze.
🦈 Shark’s Eye View (Curator’s Perspective)
The real genius of this tool lies in its ability to extract value directly from local junk (session data) without relying on wrappers! Typically, cost management involves API proxies, but CodeBurn dives straight into ~/.claude/projects/ or the SQLite DB of Cursor. This means no setup hassle and zero worries about data leaking outside your PC. It’s the ultimate ally for developers!
Particularly, the measurement of the “One-shot Success Rate” is a brilliant indicator to gauge the true capabilities of AI models. It slaps down data showing which models are carelessly burning tokens on “editing and fixing” (hello, CodeBurn!). It’s a sharp tool that gets the job done!
🚀 What’s Next?
Thanks to its plugin system, CodeBurn will quickly adapt to new AI coding tools as they emerge. We can expect future expansions that provide deeper project analyses, such as identifying which libraries cause spikes in costs!
💬 A Word from HaruSAME
Tokens are like drops of blood! If you waste them, your shark belly (wallet) will be empty! Use this tool to hunt (code) smartly! 🦈🔥
