A local dashboard to see where LLM costs go

Tokview is an open-source tool for tracking Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini use in one place. It shows tokens and cost for each tool call. This can help people building AI agents find waste and lower bills.

Key points

  • It runs locally as a proxy and dashboard, with little setup needed.
  • It can track Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini usage together.
  • It breaks cost down by tool call, so expensive agent steps are easier to spot.
