Tokenmeter: Free Windows App to Track Claude Code Token Usage Offline
Tokenmeter is a small desktop app that reads the local .jsonl files Claude Code writes to your machine and presents usage metrics in a dashboard. No API keys, no accounts — it reads data directly from %USERPROFILE%\.claude\projects\. Completely offline.
Key Features
- Total tokens + estimated cost across all sessions
- 14-day daily activity chart
- 90-day GitHub-style heatmap
- 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
- Pixel creature that idles in the corner and does a dance on first load
