# tokenusage (`tu`)
Fast Rust CLI/TUI/GUI token usage tracker for Codex usage and Claude Code usage.
[](https://github.com/hanbu97/tokenusage/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[](https://github.com/hanbu97/tokenusage/actions/workflows/release.yml)
`tu` scans local session logs and gives one merged token + cost view across Codex and Claude in CLI, live monitor, and GUI.
**Benchmark:** up to **131.1x faster than `ccusage`** on warm runs (**34.5x** on cold runs) with real local Codex logs. [See full benchmark](#benchmark-details).

## Install
### cargo (crates.io)
```bash
cargo install tokenusage --bin tu
```
### npm
```bash
npm install -g tokenusage
```
### cargo-binstall (prebuilt binary)
```bash
cargo binstall tokenusage --no-confirm
```
## Quick Start
```bash
tu
tu live
tu gui
tu img --output tokenusage-share.png # daily view (today, hourly bars)
tu img --period weekly --output tokenusage-week.png # weekly view (daily bars)
```
## Why tokenusage
- Faster feedback loop: native Rust + parallel scan/parsing + incremental cache.
- One dashboard for both Codex and Claude, with merged totals and per-model breakdown.
- Share-ready image card (`tu img`) for posting your token/cost trend.
- Works in terminal and desktop GUI without sending your logs to a cloud service.
## FAQ
### Where does the data come from?
From local log directories only:
- Claude: `~/.config/claude/projects`, `~/.claude/projects`
- Codex: `~/.codex/sessions`, `~/.config/codex/sessions`
You can override with `--claude-projects-dir` and `--codex-sessions-dir`.
### How is cost estimated?
`tu` uses OpenRouter pricing when available, caches it for 6 hours, and falls back to built-in offline rates when network pricing is unavailable.
### Is my data private?
Yes for usage logs: parsing is local. `tu` only requests pricing metadata unless you run `--offline`.
## Benchmark Details
Benchmark setup:
- Machine: Apple M3 Max, macOS 15.6.1
- Dataset: `~/.codex/sessions` (71 JSONL files, ~537 MB), date range `2025-09-01` to `2026-02-28`
- `tu` version: `1.1.2`
- `@ccusage/codex` version: `18.0.8`
- Both in default mode (online pricing behavior, network enabled)
Results:
| `tu` (cold, rebuild cache) | `tu codex --rebuild-cache -s 2025-09-01 -u 2026-02-28` | **0.19s** |
| `@ccusage/codex` (single run) | `ccusage-codex daily -s 2025-09-01 -u 2026-02-28` | **6.56s** |
| `tu` (warm, avg of 10 runs) | `tu codex -s 2025-09-01 -u 2026-02-28` | **0.052s** |
| `@ccusage/codex` (warm, avg of 10 runs) | `ccusage-codex daily -s 2025-09-01 -u 2026-02-28` | **6.819s** |
- Cold-run speedup: about **34.5x**
- Warm-run speedup: about **131.1x**
> Notes: results vary by hardware, filesystem cache state, and log volume.

## Config File
Config search order:
1. `./.tu/tu.json`
2. `~/.config/tu/tu.json`
3. `~/.config/tokenusage/tokenusage.json`
Use an explicit config file:
```bash
tu --config /path/to/tu.json
```
Example:
```json
{
"defaults": {
"timezone": "Asia/Shanghai",
"workers": 16,
"compact": false
},
"commands": {
"daily": {
"instances": true
},
"live": {
"sessionLength": 5,
"refreshInterval": 1
},
"img": {
"period": "daily",
"bars": 24,
"brand": "tokenusage",
"brandUrl": "github.com/hanbu97/tokenusage"
},
"weekly": {
"startOfWeek": "monday"
}
}
}
```
## Pricing
```bash
tu --pricing-file ./pricing.json
```
Offline-only mode:
```bash
tu --offline
```
