A tiny meter that watches your AI coding tools and shows your token count, spend, and how close you are to your limit — live. It also feeds those numbers to your phone and watch. No API keys.
The desktop meter is the heart of Vibe Guard — the same live monitor the paid apps build on. It reads the logs your AI coding tools already write on your computer and turns them into a running total.
Counts today’s tokens and dollar cost across Claude desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and more — all in one number.
Shows your rolling 5-hour window and weekly limit with reset times, so you wrap up before you get cut off.
Pushes the same numbers to the Vibe Guard app through your account — check your usage anywhere.
No API keys. It only reads usage counts from local logs — never your prompts or your code.
Pick your computer. The first time it runs, sign in with your Vibe Guard account — that links this computer to you automatically. No codes to copy.
./start-vibeguard-meter.sh (Python 3 is usually built in).Start with the meter. Upgrade later for all-tools aggregation, the context-window gauge, limit alerts, and the on-device Coach.
