What it does
Claude Cost & Token Inspector gives Claude users visibility into what normally stays hidden.

Everything runs locally in your browser, helping you understand how Claude actually performs without sending your conversations to external servers.

Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs2025 · github.com · ▲245I kept slamming into Claude Code limits mid-session and couldn’t find a quick way to see how close I was getting, so I hacked together a tiny local tracker.

CodeBurn – Analyze Claude Code token usage by taskApr 2026 · github.com · ▲112Built this after realizing I was spending ~$1400/week on Claude Code with almost no visibility into what was actually consuming tokens. Tools like ccusage give a cost breakdown per model and per day, but I wanted to understand usage at the task level. CodeBurn reads the JSONL session transcripts that Claude Code stores locally (~/.claude/projects/) and classifies each turn into 13 categories based on tool usage patterns (no LLM calls involved). One surprising result: about 56% of my spend was on conversation turns with no tool usage. Actual coding (edits/writes) was…

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
