CodeBurn tracks local Claude, Codex spend

CodeBurn is a terminal UI for understanding where local AI coding tokens actually go. It reads session transcripts from disk, classifies usage by activity type without making any LLM calls, and surfaces breakdowns by project, model, tool, plus daily charts and a Mac menu bar widget.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: this is observability for agentic coding, not just cost tracking, and that’s the right framing.

–The no-LLM classification pipeline keeps it deterministic, private, and cheap to run locally.
–Breaking spend down by task type is more actionable than a raw burn chart because it shows where agents are thrashing versus shipping.
–The daily charts plus menu bar widget make it useful as a habit-building dashboard, not just a forensic tool.
