Tokscale: Your AI Token Tracker!
Overview: Why is this cool?
You know that nagging feeling? Constantly wondering if you’re hitting those AI token limits or just how much you’re really relying on your coding copilots? I’ve been wishing for a unified dashboard to see my token usage across different platforms forever. tokscale isn’t just a dashboard; it’s a full-blown analytics powerhouse that finally brings order to the chaos of scattered AI usage data. This is a total game-changer for optimizing my workflow and understanding my AI coding habits.
My Favorite Features
- Universal Token Tracking: Forget managing separate logs!
tokscaleplugs into everything from OpenCode to Claude, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and even those niche ones like Kimi Code. This unification is chef’s kiss for a polyglot dev like me. - Gamified Leaderboard: A global leaderboard? That’s just brilliant! Not only does it track my usage, but it lets me see how I stack up against other developers. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, right?
- Visual Contributions Graph: Just like GitHub’s contribution graph, but for your AI token usage! Seeing my daily, weekly, or monthly token patterns in 2D or even 3D is incredibly insightful. Helps me spot trends and optimize.
Quick Start
I swear, I had this thing up and running in less than 5 minutes. npm install -g tokscale and then a quick tokscale run (or tokscale --help to see all the goodies). It just works out of the box. No flaky configs, just pure CLI goodness.
