Tokenmeter: Free Windows App to Track Claude Code Token Usage Offline

Key Features

- 14-day daily activity chart

- Peak hours — the developer found their peak usage at 11am and 3pm
- Cache savings — shows what you'd have paid without prompt caching. One user reported ~$284 saved.
- 30-day cost projection based on 7-day average
- Per-project breakdown with sparklines
