CodeBurn

See where your AI coding spend actually goes

Dev ToolsOpen Source

A free, local, MIT-licensed tool that tracks AI coding token usage and cost across 40+ tools and agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini and Copilot. Reads the session files those tools already write to your machine — no API keys, no account, no upload — and breaks spend down by task, model, tool, project and pull request. An Optimize view flags waste patterns such as cache bloat and retry overhead.

What is CodeBurn?

CodeBurn is a free, local, MIT-licensed tool that tracks AI coding token usage and cost across 40+ tools and agents by reading the session files those tools already write to your machine.

Key features

  • Tracks Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, and 40+ other tools
  • No API keys, no account, no upload — fully local processing
  • Breaks spend down by task, model, tool, project, and pull request
  • Correlates cost with shipped code via git commits
  • Optimize view flags waste patterns like cache bloat and retry overhead
  • Ships as CLI (npx codeburn), desktop apps, menu bar app, web dashboard, and GNOME extension

Who it's for

  • Teams that want to see where their AI coding spend actually goes
  • Developers debugging cache bloat or retry overhead in their agent workflows
  • Anyone who wants cost visibility without sending data to a third party

When not to use it

Not useful if agents run entirely in CI with no local session files — that's where CodeBurn's data comes from.

FAQ

Does CodeBurn upload any data?

No — it reads local session files and processes everything on-device; no API keys or account are required.

What does the Optimize view do?

It flags waste patterns such as cache bloat and retry overhead, with built-in fixes and savings tracking.
