Tokscale helps you monitor and analyze your token consumption from:

Get real-time pricing calculations using 🚅 LiteLLM's pricing data, with support for tiered pricing models and cache token discounts.

Why "Tokscale"?

This project is inspired by the Kardashev scale, a method proposed by astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev to measure a civilization's level of technological advancement based on its energy consumption. A Type I civilization harnesses all energy available on its planet, Type II captures the entire output of its star, and Type III commands the energy of an entire galaxy.

In the age of AI-assisted development, tokens are the new energy. They power our reasoning, fuel our productivity, and drive our creative output. Just as the Kardashev scale tracks energy consumption at cosmic scales, Tokscale measures your token consumption as you scale the ranks of AI-augmented development. Whether you're a casual user or burning through millions of tokens daily, Tokscale helps you visualize your journey up the scale—from planetary developer to galactic code architect.

Installation

Quick Start

# Run directly with npx
npx tokscale@latest

# Or use bunx
bunx tokscale@latest

# Or use Deno without installing an alias
deno x npm:tokscale@latest

# Light mode (table rendering only)
npx tokscale@latest --light

That's it! This gives you the full interactive TUI experience with zero setup.

Package Structure: tokscale is an alias package (like swc) that installs @tokscale/cli. Both install the same CLI with the native Rust core (@tokscale/core) included.

Prerequisites

• Node.js or Bun
• (Optional) Rust toolchain for building native module from source

Development Setup

For local development or building from source:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/junhoyeo/tokscale.git
cd tokscale

# Install Bun (if not already installed)
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Run the CLI in development mode
bun run cli

Note: bun run cli is for local development. When installed via bunx tokscale, the command runs directly. The Usage section below shows the installed binary commands.

Building the Native Module

The native Rust module is required for CLI operation. It provides ~10x faster processing through parallel file scanning and SIMD JSON parsing:

# Build the native core (run from repository root)
bun run build:core

Note: Native binaries are pre-built and included when you install via bunx tokscale@latest. Building from source is only needed for local development.

Usage

Basic Commands

tokscale

# Launch TUI with specific tab
tokscale models    # Models tab
tokscale monthly   # Daily view (shows daily breakdown)
tokscale hourly    # Hourly tab

# Use legacy CLI table output
tokscale --light
tokscale models --light

# Launch TUI explicitly

Group-By Strategies

Press g in the TUI or use --group-by in --light/--json mode to control how model rows are aggregated:

--group-by model (most consolidated)

--group-by client,model (CLI default)

--group-by client,provider,model (most granular)

--group-by session,model (per-session cost attribution)

tokscale models --json --group-by session,model emits one entry per (session_id, model). Each entry includes a top-level sessionId field so downstream tools (e.g. multi-agent IDEs) can join cost data back to a specific agent-CLI session:

{
  "groupBy": "session,model",
  "entries": [
    {
      "sessionId": "019e1e27-af49-7cd1-89b7-7bad1c3f3be2",
      "client": "codex",
      "provider": "openai",
      "model": "gpt-5",
      "input": 25251,
      "output": 47,
      "cacheRead": 1920,
      "cacheWrite": 0,
      "reasoning": 40,
      "messageCount": 12,
      "cost": 0.0123
    }
  ]
}

Use --group-by client,session,model when you also need the client name on every row (one spawn across all 20+ supported CLIs at once).

Filtering by Platform

Use --client (short -c) to scope reports to one or more clients. The flag is repeatable, accepts comma-separated values, and works with every report command:

# Show only OpenCode usage
tokscale --client opencode

# Comma-separated: combine multiple clients
tokscale --client opencode,claude

# Repeated: same effect, useful with shell aliases
tokscale -c opencode -c claude

# Cursor IDE uses Tokscale's API cache; run login + sync --json first
tokscale --client cursor

# Synthetic (synthetic.new) is detected from other agent sessions
tokscale --client synthetic

# Combine with other filters
tokscale --client opencode,claude --week --json

Possible values: opencode, claude, codex, copilot, gemini, cursor, amp, codebuff, droid, openclaw, hermes, pi, kimi, qwen, roocode, kilocode, kilo, mux, crush, goose, antigravity, antigravity-cli, zed, kiro, trae, warp, cline, gjc, grok, jcode, micode, commandcode, junie, zcode, opencodereview, codebuddy, synthetic.

Breaking change (v4.0.0): The per-client boolean flags (--opencode, --claude, --codex, etc.) have been removed and now error. Use the canonical --client/-c flag instead — e.g. tokscale --client opencode,claude.

Date Filtering

Date filters work across all commands that generate reports (tokscale, tokscale models, tokscale monthly, tokscale graph):

# Quick date shortcuts
tokscale --today              # Today only
tokscale --yesterday          # Yesterday only
tokscale --week               # Last 7 days
tokscale --month              # Current calendar month

# Custom date range (inclusive, local timezone)
tokscale --since 2024-01-01 --until 2024-12-31

# Filter by year
tokscale --year 2024

# Combine with other options
tokscale models --week --client claude --json
tokscale monthly --month --benchmark

Note: Date filters use your local timezone. Both --since and --until are inclusive. v2.2.0 note: Session active-time daily buckets also use your local timezone, so users outside UTC may see active-time dates align with local token/cost report days instead of UTC day boundaries.

Pricing Lookup

Look up real-time pricing for any model:

# Look up model pricing
tokscale pricing "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
tokscale pricing "gpt-4o"
tokscale pricing "grok-code"

# Force specific provider source
tokscale pricing "grok-code" --provider openrouter
tokscale pricing "claude-3-5-sonnet" --provider litellm

# Inspect custom pricing overrides
tokscale pricing list-overrides

Lookup Strategy:

The pricing lookup uses a multi-step resolution strategy:

1. Custom Pricing Overrides - Exact user-defined entries from ~/.config/tokscale/custom-pricing.json
2. Exact Match - Direct lookup in LiteLLM/OpenRouter databases
3. Alias Resolution - Resolves friendly names (e.g., big-pickle → glm-4.7)
4. Tier Suffix Stripping - Removes quality tiers (gpt-5.2-xhigh → gpt-5.2)
5. Version Normalization - Handles version formats (claude-3-5-sonnet ↔ claude-3.5-sonnet)
6. Provider Prefix Matching - Tries common prefixes (anthropic/, openai/, etc.)
7. Cursor Model Pricing - Hardcoded pricing for models not yet in LiteLLM/OpenRouter (e.g., gpt-5.3-codex)
8. Fuzzy Matching - Word-boundary matching for partial model names

Custom Pricing Overrides

Create custom-pricing.json in Tokscale's config directory (~/.config/tokscale/custom-pricing.json on macOS/Linux by default; the same directory resolved by TOKSCALE_CONFIG_DIR when set) to override prices for model IDs that upstream pricing databases do not yet cover correctly.

{
  "$schema": "https://tokscale.ai/custom-pricing.schema.json",
  "models": {
    "accounts/fireworks/routers/kimi-k2p6-turbo": {
      "input_cost_per_million_tokens": 2.00,
      "output_cost_per_million_tokens": 8.00,
      "cache_read_input_token_cost_per_million_tokens": 0.30,
      "source": "https://docs.fireworks.ai/serverless/pricing",
      "notes": "Fireworks Kimi K2.6 Turbo (preview)"
    },
    "accounts/fireworks/models/kimi-k2p6": {
      "input_cost_per_million_tokens": 0.95,
      "output_cost_per_million_tokens": 4.00,
      "cache_read_input_token_cost_per_million_tokens": 0.16
    },
    "kimi-k2p6-turbo": {
      "input_cost_per_million_tokens": 2.00,
      "output_cost_per_million_tokens": 8.00
    }
  }
}

Override prices are entered in dollars per million tokens, matching how most API providers publish pricing; Tokscale converts them to per-token rates internally. At least one of input_cost_per_million_tokens or output_cost_per_million_tokens must be present and positive, and cache-read/cache-creation fields are optional. LiteLLM-style per-token field names such as input_cost_per_token, output_cost_per_token, and cache_read_input_token_cost are also accepted for copy/paste compatibility, but the per-million names are the recommended user-facing form. To omit a tier or cache price, leave the field out; negative or non-finite values are treated as invalid and the whole model entry is skipped so typos do not silently alter accounting. Optional source and notes fields are ignored by Tokscale and can be used for your own bookkeeping.

Overrides are exact-only and case-insensitive. Tokscale checks the raw model ID first, then the existing synthetic /models/ normalization, then falls through to LiteLLM, OpenRouter, Cursor pricing, and fuzzy matching if no override matches. Raw exact matches beat normalized exact matches, so accounts/fireworks/routers/kimi-k2p6-turbo can override one gateway-specific model while kimi-k2p6-turbo can cover normalized /models/ paths. Overrides are loaded once at startup; restart the command after editing the file. This is the recommended local fix for wrong-model pricing bugs while waiting on upstream LiteLLM pricing updates.

Provider Preference:

When multiple matches exist, original model creators are preferred over resellers:

Example: grok-code matches xai/grok-code-fast-1 ($0.20/$1.50) instead of azure_ai/grok-code-fast-1 ($3.50/$17.50).

# Submit with filters
tokscale submit --client opencode,claude --since 2024-01-01

tokscale logout

Autosubmit

Autosubmit schedules the normal tokscale submit flow with the operating system scheduler. It is useful for keeping your public profile current without a manual terminal run.

# Enable periodic submission. Uses launchd on macOS, systemd user timers on Linux
# when available, cron as a Linux fallback, and Windows Task Scheduler on Windows.
tokscale autosubmit enable --interval 24h

# Keep the same client and date filters you would pass to submit.
tokscale autosubmit enable --interval 2h --client opencode,claude --week

# Show saved settings and the last run/error.
tokscale autosubmit status
tokscale autosubmit status --json

# Run once now, even if the saved interval has not elapsed.
tokscale autosubmit run --force

# Disable autosubmit and remove the scheduler entry.
tokscale autosubmit disable

Scheduled runs are non-interactive: they never prompt for GitHub auth or star confirmation. Run tokscale login --token tt_xxx once, or set TOKSCALE_API_TOKEN in the scheduler environment. Tokscale records scheduler state in settings.json, writes logs under ~/.config/tokscale/autosubmit/, and uses a lock file so overlapping scheduler ticks do not submit twice.

Cursor IDE Commands

Cursor IDE support uses Cursor's web API export, cached by Tokscale at ~/.config/tokscale/cursor-cache/usage*.csv. Tokscale does not parse local Cursor Agent CLI state under ~/.cursor.

Setup:

1. Open https://www.cursor.com/settings in your browser and sign in.
2. Copy the WorkosCursorSessionToken cookie value:
   • Network tab: make any request to cursor.com/api/*, then copy the value after WorkosCursorSessionToken= from the Cookie request header.
   • Application tab: open Cookies -> https://www.cursor.com, then copy the WorkosCursorSessionToken value.
3. Run tokscale cursor login --name work and paste the token.
4. Run tokscale cursor sync --json to populate ~/.config/tokscale/cursor-cache/usage.csv.
5. Run tokscale --client cursor or any report command.

Treat the session token like a password. It is stored locally in ~/.config/tokscale/cursor-credentials.json.

# Login to Cursor (requires session token from browser)
# --name is optional; it just helps you identify accounts later
tokscale cursor login --name work

# Check Cursor authentication status and session validity
tokscale cursor status

# List saved Cursor accounts
tokscale cursor accounts

# Manually refresh cached Cursor usage
tokscale cursor sync --json

# Switch active account (controls which account syncs to cursor-cache/usage.csv)
tokscale cursor switch work

# Logout from a specific account (keeps history; excludes it from aggregation)
tokscale cursor logout --name work

# Logout and delete cached usage for that account
tokscale cursor logout --name work --purge-cache

# Logout from all Cursor accounts (keeps history; excludes from aggregation)
tokscale cursor logout --all

# Logout from all accounts and delete cached usage
tokscale cursor logout --all --purge-cache

By default, Tokscale aggregates usage across all saved Cursor accounts by reading cursor-cache/usage*.csv. The active account syncs to usage.csv; additional accounts sync to usage.<account>.csv.

When you log out, Tokscale moves cached usage to cursor-cache/archive/ so it is no longer aggregated. Use --purge-cache to delete cached usage instead.

Antigravity Commands

Antigravity sync currently works on macOS and Linux only. The Antigravity-enabled editor must be running and its local language server available; tokscale reads usage from that local language server and caches normalized artifacts locally.

# Check whether tokscale can see running Antigravity language servers
tokscale antigravity status

# Sync usage from local Antigravity language servers into tokscale's cache
tokscale antigravity sync

# Delete the cached Antigravity artifacts
tokscale antigravity purge-cache

Cache location: ~/.config/tokscale/antigravity-cache/

How it works: tokscale antigravity sync discovers local Antigravity session candidates, fetches confirmed usage data from the local language server RPC, and stores normalized JSONL artifacts for tokscale-core to parse later. Run sync before reports if you want the freshest Antigravity data.

Trae Commands

Trae (ByteDance's AI IDE) ships in two international product lines — Trae IDE and Trae Solo. They share the same account-level usage data (same backend, same JWT), so tokscale reports them as a single trae client. You can install either or both desktop apps; tokscale auto-discovers credentials from whichever is present.

Credentials are identified per desktop app via --variant:

• --variant ide — credentials from Trae IDE (~/Library/Application Support/Trae/)
• --variant solo — credentials from Trae Solo (~/Library/Application Support/TRAE SOLO/)

tokscale trae sync calls the official query_user_usage_group_by_session API exactly once per run (regardless of how many desktop apps are installed) and persists the raw JSON to a local cache.

# Log in (auto-detects credentials from any installed Trae desktop client)
tokscale trae login

# Manual JWT entry (for environments where auto-detect can't find storage.json,
# e.g. Linux/Windows or a headless server). Open https://www.trae.ai/account-setting#usage
# in your browser, then F12 → Network → filter `query_user_usage` and copy the
# `Authorization` header value.
tokscale trae login --manual --variant solo

# Show which variants have cached credentials
tokscale trae status

# Sync usage (uses the first available credential source)
tokscale trae sync --since 30

# Forget cached credentials for one variant
tokscale trae logout --variant solo

Cache location: ~/.config/tokscale/trae-cache/

How it works: tokscale either decrypts the desktop client's iCubeAuthInfo://* blob (globalStorage/storage.json) to recover a JWT, or accepts one pasted via --manual. It then calls POST /trae/api/v1/pay/query_user_usage_group_by_session paginated and stores the raw JSON. Run sync before reports if you want the freshest Trae data.

Note on pricing: Trae cost figures are vendor-reported — tokscale surfaces the dollar_float value returned by Trae's own API rather than recomputing cost from token counts through tokscale's pricing engine. Numbers will match what you see on trae.ai/account-setting#usage, not what tokscale would otherwise calculate for the same usage.

China variants: The China editions (trae.com.cn) are intentionally not supported. The CN backend does not expose a session-level usage query API. Trae CN / Trae Solo CN support will be added once an official endpoint becomes available upstream.

Warp/Oz Commands

Warp/Oz does not expose local token transcripts. Tokscale only syncs the aggregate request and spend counters returned by Warp's GraphQL API, then reports them as warp / aggregate-requests rows with zero token buckets.

# Save a bearer token or Cookie header copied from an authenticated Warp request
tokscale warp login

# Inspect credential/cache state and diagnostics
tokscale warp status

# Sync aggregate requests and spend into tokscale's local cache
tokscale warp sync

# Remove
