drip – A live water meter for Claude Code and Codex CLI

In plain words

Drip is a live water-usage meter for Claude Code and Codex CLI that estimates and displays the water consumption of AI coding agents in real time. It addresses the lack of published water-usage data from AI providers by calculating estimates based on research from ML.ENERGY, Microsoft, Google, and other institutions, with all coefficients transparently linked. The tool integrates into the developer's workflow through a status line or split-pane meter display, helping users understand the environmental impact of their AI coding work as it happens.
