Could you build this?
Partial A local desktop app that tallies token usage and creates receipts is buildable, but detecting purchases of information you already bought needs semantic matching and reliable parsing of varied provider billing data.
What it would actually take: Build a local desktop app (Electron or Tauri) that imports provider billing exports or API usage data, applies per-model token pricing, and stores receipts locally. The hard part is semantic duplicate detection: matching new purchases against previously bought content with embeddings and similarity thresholds, and handling provider billing formats that change. This needs some applied ML and careful data-parsing work.
