Codeburn Claude Cost Dashboard

If you're using Claude Code regularly and want to know where your API spend is actually going, this reads the session transcripts directly from disk and breaks down costs by project, model, and task type. The TUI dashboard shows real numbers across today, 7 days, or monthly views, and it classifies your coding sessions into 13 categories like debugging, feature dev, or refactoring without making any LLM calls. The one-shot success rate is genuinely useful for tracking how often edits work first try versus needing retries. Export to CSV or JSON when you need receipts, or install the SwiftBar menubar widget to passively monitor daily spend. No proxies, no API keys, just parsing local JSONL files and applying LiteLLM pricing data.
