Codeburn
Interactive TUI dashboard that shows exactly where your Claude Code and Cursor tokens are going, in real time.
Codeburn sits alongside your AI coding tools and tracks token consumption across sessions. The TUI dashboard shows you, in real time, which files are consuming the most tokens, which prompts are eating context, and where the spend is concentrated across your day. For anyone on a metered plan or trying to understand why the Claude Max subscription still feels expensive, it gives the visibility that neither Claude Code nor Cursor surface directly. The tool hit 3,400+ stars in its first week on GitHub, which is the strongest single-week signal for a dev productivity tool in April. It pairs well with any agent-driven workflow where you want to audit cost retrospectively rather than guess.
