Competitors mentioned: Claude Code Usage (richhickson/claudecodeusage), Switcheroo (FTCHD/switcheroo), autocompact
Concerns raised: README feels like AI-generated slop, low-effort, README too long, hard to skim quickly, Unclear value proposition - most users don't have long sessions, Security concern - giving third-party tool access to all activity
Feature requests: Support switching between multiple CLI logins (Codex, Vercel, etc.), Track more than just usage - include burn rate and cost per turn
