'Tokens 4 Breakfast' app adds Usage Insights to track Claude Code spending
'Tokens 4 Breakfast' is a third-party app that tracks how many tokens you consume while using Claude Code. Following user feedback, it now includes a new 'Usage Insights' feature for deeper analysis of your usage patterns.
Claude Code is an AI coding tool from Anthropic that charges based on 'tokens' — units that measure how much text the AI processes. Because costs can add up quickly and unpredictably, some users built tools to monitor their spending. 'Tokens 4 Breakfast' is one such app that makes this visible in a clear, visual way.
The newly added 'Usage Insights' goes beyond just showing a running total. It lets you see when and how you're using tokens — for example, which types of tasks burn through the most. For solo developers or makers who rely heavily on Claude Code daily, this means fewer billing surprises and a clearer picture of where AI time (and money) is actually going.
Key points
- Tracks token consumption from Claude Code in a visual dashboard
- New 'Usage Insights' feature added based on community feedback
