Show HN: Claude Token Analyzer: a token "screen-time" report

danmeier1 pts0 comments

Everyone is talking about token spend, but not what we actually spend tokens on. I’ve always found it interesting to track my time across different tasks to challenge whether I was working on the right things.Nowadays, I spend around 95% of my day in the Claude desktop app, so “where did my time/tokens go?” basically means “what did I do in Claude?”*Turns out it’s all already on your disk. Every Claude Code / Cowork session is a JSONL transcript with per-message usage blocks: input, output, cache creation, cache read, and timestamps.Run the snipped below to get an overview of what you did and when based on your Cowork and Claude Code history. Example output:╭────────────────┬────────────────┬────────────────┬────────────────╮ │ Spend │ Tokens │ Active │ Cache-read │ │ $39 │ 27.5M │ 1.8h │ 91% │ ╰────────────────┴────────────────┴────────────────┴────────────────╯when active 08:00 09:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 Claude Code Claude CoworkClaude Code — $36.56 · 3 threads $22.07 17.9M Claude usage report for 2026-06-14 $9.29 7.6M LinkedIn data export analysis $5.19 1.0M Productization planClaude Cowork — $1.99 · 2 threads $1.15 791K YouTube video summary $0.84 156K Picture identificationcurl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/danmeier2/064f7db8c0867dd... | python3 -*ccusage doesn’t see my Claude Code sessions because they’re stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/.
