Just the numbers — a live token count and plan-limit fill, right in your terminal, for any AI coding agent in any IDE. Read-only, no Guardian: it reads the usage from logs on your own machine and shows it. Nothing more.
Your live usage, read from logs on your own machine — so a long build never runs into a wall you didn't see coming.
See exactly how many tokens you've used this session — the units of text an AI reads and writes, which is what you pay for.
A percentage that shows how close you are to your plan's limit, so you can pace a long build instead of hitting a wall.
Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Windsurf, Codex — install it once on your Mac and it reads whichever agent is open.
It reads your local context meter only. It never writes, never injects, and never sees your code or your prompts.
You don't install the meter inside each editor. You install it once, and it reads the usage of whatever agent is open — for one command or a live, refreshing view.
Run it once for a quick reading, or add --watch for a meter that refreshes as you work — in a split pane next to your agent. It's the cheapest insurance against a runaway session landing on your bill, and because it only reads local logs, it never touches your code or handles a provider API key.
Same read-only meter in your terminal — whether it's your first build or your team's fiftieth.
You live in the terminal now that your AI writes the code. One command tells you your token count — the text the AI reads and writes, which is what you pay for — and how much of your limit is left. No dashboard to open.
Run vibeguard-meter --watch in a split pane and keep a live token + limit readout next to Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Windsurf, or Codex. Read-only — it never touches your code or prompts.
A zero-write, local-only usage readout that drops into any engineer's terminal and any IDE — visibility across the team without handing out provider API keys.
A few quick steps in your terminal (every IDE has one built in). After that it runs for all your editors.
Get the .zip with the button and double-click it to unzip the vibeguard-cli folder. Needs Python 3.8+.
In Terminal, run pipx install vibeguard-meter (or pip install . from the folder).
Run vibeguard-meter for a one-shot reading, or vibeguard-meter --watch for a live meter.
Download the Meter CLI and run vibeguard-meter. Included with your Vibe Guard subscription. Want the Guardian too? Get the full CLI.
