🛠 Monitoring AI Tokens with Tokens 4 Breakfast
Tokens 4 Breakfast (T4B) has been released for macOS, enabling users to track token usage and subscription expenses across various AI platforms. The tool supports data aggregation from 8 providers, including Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, Cursor, and DeepSeek, utilizing a local SQLite database to ensure privacy.
🌍 The emergence of specialized tools for managing costs and limits highlights the growing complexity and fragmentation of the AI stack, where developers must balance multiple APIs and subscriptions.
👤 It allows users to avoid unexpected API bills and sudden limit exhaustion (such as Claude's 5-hour window) by providing a unified dashboard and predictive expense analytics directly in the macOS menu bar.
