CodeBurn: Local Token Usage and Cost Tracking for AI Coding Tools

Repositorygetagentseal/codeburnTool

CodeBurn is an open-source, locally run utility that monitors token consumption and spending across AI coding assistants. It aggregates metrics across more than 37 tools and agents, breaking down expenditure by model, project, and task.

Key points

  1. Tracks token usage and spending across 37 to 41 developer tools and agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini.
  2. Runs entirely locally without mandatory cloud services, accessible via CLI ('npx codeburn') or as a macOS desktop app.
  3. Breaks down spending and usage metrics granularly by individual project, model, and task.
  4. Built with TypeScript and requires Node.js version 22 or higher under the MIT licence.

Why it matters

Developing software with multiple LLM-driven tools quickly leads to fragmented, opaque API bills. Provider invoices usually lack task- or project-level attribution. A local tracking utility gives developers immediate visibility into where token expenditure actually accumulates.

Analysis

CodeBurn directly targets cost opacity in agentic and AI-assisted workflows. Technically, it is implemented in TypeScript for Node.js (>=22) and delivered both via a terminal interface and a standalone desktop application (version v0.9.23). It caters to software engineers, development teams, and tech leads managing agentic workflows across different models. Having gathered over 10,800 stars, 800 forks, and open-source grant recognition, the project demonstrates strong traction and maturity despite its sub-1.0 release status.
