If you use Claude Code, you already know the feeling: you finish a session, check your usage, and wonder where it all went.
TokenWatch is a lightweight dashboard that reads your local Claude Code session logs and shows you a live cost breakdown — per session, per project, per day. It updates within 300ms of Claude responding, so you see the meter tick up as you work.
What it does: - Live spend meter with daily projection - Per-session drill-down: cost per message, token counts, cache hits, model used - Per-project breakdown so you know which repo burns the most - Desktop budget alerts at 80% and 100% of your daily limit - Auto-updated pricing — when Anthropic changes rates, TokenWatch updates automatically
What it doesn't do: - No proxy. No API key. No account required to get started. - Nothing leaves your machine — it reads local logs directly.
`pip install tokenwatch` and you're live in 30 seconds.
Free forever for core features. $9/mo Pro adds 90-day history, CSV/JSON export, custom alert thresholds, and a weekly email digest.
