I use Claude Code, Codex and Cursor (and sometimes Antigravity) basically every day, and could never tell how much I was actually consuming across all of them.So I built TokenMaxxer. A small CLI reads the files these tools already write locally and puts it all in one dashboard, broken out by tool, model, provider and day. It covers 18 tools now, and you get a profile page with your daily activity, cost estimates, and your top models and tools. There's also a global leaderboard if you want to compete against other TokenMaxxers!I'd love to see if anyone can beat the first place (currently sitting at 45.8B tokens).Thanks for stopping by! I'm looking for ways to improve it, so feedback or ideas are much appreciated.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a straightforward CLI and dashboard that inspects known local configuration/log directories for various coding tools and displays aggregated token counts.
