**Track your AI coding costs in real-time.** Vibe Coding Tracker is a lightweight, high-performance CLI tool built in Rust that monitors and analyzes your Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, and OpenCode usage — with detailed cost breakdowns, token statistics, and code operation insights, all while keeping the memory footprint minimal.

[English](README.md) | [繁體中文](README.zh-TW.md) | [简体中文](README.zh-CN.md)

> Note: CLI examples use the short alias `vct`. If you installed via npm/pip/cargo, the binary might be named `vibe_coding_tracker` or `vct`. Create an alias or replace `vct` with the full name when running commands if needed.

---

## Why Vibe Coding Tracker?

### Know Your Costs

Stop wondering how much your AI coding sessions cost. Get **real-time cost tracking** with automatic pricing updates from [LiteLLM](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm).

### Ultra-Lightweight

Built with Rust for minimal resource footprint. The interactive TUI dashboard typically sits at **under ~50 MB of resident memory** once the first refresh is done, even with hundreds of long-context sessions on disk — no Electron, no bloated runtimes. The usage path parses each session file in a lean usage-only mode and bypasses the cache, and we tune glibc's arena count at startup to keep long-running RSS honest.

### Beautiful Visualizations

Choose your preferred view:

- **Interactive Dashboard**: Auto-refreshing terminal UI with live updates, scrollable model list (arrow keys), and compact K/M/B number formatting
- **Static Reports**: Professional tables for documentation
- **Script-Friendly**: Plain text and JSON for automation
- **Full Precision**: Export exact costs for accounting

### Zero Configuration

Automatically detects and processes logs from Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, and OpenCode. No setup required — just run and analyze.

### Rich Insights

- Token usage by model and date
- Cost breakdown by cache types (read / create)
- File operations tracking (edit, read, write lines)
- Tool call history (Bash, Edit, Read, Write, TodoWrite)
- Per-provider totals

### Basic Usage

```bash
# Interactive dashboard (recommended)
vct usage

# Static table for reports
vct usage --table

# Plain text for scripts
vct usage --text

# JSON for data processing (includes cost_usd and matched_model fields)
vct usage --json

# Save enriched JSON straight to a file
vct usage --output report.json

# Combine time range with output format
vct usage --weekly
vct usage --table --monthly
vct usage --json --daily

# Merge same model reported under different provider prefixes
# (e.g. openai/gpt-5.5 + azure/gpt-5.5 + gpt-5.5 -> one row)
vct usage --table --merge-providers
```

> [!NOTE]
> Model rows are sorted by cost in ascending order, so the highest-spending model is listed last (right above the `TOTAL` row in `--table`). This applies to the interactive dashboard, `--table`, and `--text` output; `--json` preserves the same order. The interactive dashboard also hides models with zero usage in the selected range.

> [!TIP]
> The same model can show up as several rows when it is routed under different provider prefixes (`openai/gpt-5.5`, `azure/gpt-5.5`, plain `gpt-5.5`). `--merge-providers` collapses rows that share the base name after the first `/` (versions like `gpt-5.5` vs `gpt-5.4` stay separate) and sums their already-priced cost. In the interactive dashboard, press `m` to toggle it live; `--merge-providers` opens the dashboard already merged. `--json` is left as the raw per-model export.

### What It Scans

The tool automatically scans these directories:

- `~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl` (Claude Code — recursive, includes subagent logs)
- `~/.codex/sessions/**/*.jsonl` (Codex — recursive, includes daily subdirectories)
- `~/.copilot/session-state/<sessionId>/events.jsonl` (Copilot CLI)
- `~/.gemini/tmp/<project_hash>/chats/*.jsonl` (Gemini CLI)
- `~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db` (OpenCode — SQLite database; honors `$XDG_DATA_HOME`)

### Live Quota Panels

`vct usage` shows **live remaining quota for Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor right in the dashboard — with zero setup.** No status-line hook, no config file: vct reads each provider's own credentials, calls its usage API on a background thread, and keeps the panels current while you work.

```

- **Claude** — plan tier, 5-hour, weekly, and per-model weekly usage from the official OAuth usage API (`GET /api/oauth/usage`), read from `~/.claude/.credentials.json`, plus your credit balance. Polled about once a minute to stay under the endpoint's rate limit; a red `LIMIT` flag appears in the title when a cap is hit. The per-model weekly row is best-effort and simply hides when that scope is not returned.
- **Codex** — plan tier, 5-hour and weekly usage, and credit balance from the ChatGPT backend (`wham/usage`) using `~/.codex/auth.json` (with approximate remaining messages / spend cap when applicable); falls back to the newest `rate_limits` in your Codex session logs when the API is unavailable (the title shows `Codex` vs `Codex (session)`).
- **Copilot** — plan tier plus your premium-request quota, shown as two gauges: percent used and the used / total request count (e.g. `45/1500`), from GitHub's Copilot API (`GET /copilot_internal/user`), read from `~/.copilot/config.json`. The request impersonates the Copilot CLI. The token is long-lived, so there is no refresh; a `401` / `403` shows a `run: copilot login` hint.
- **Cursor** — plan tier, total / auto / API percent **used**, and on-demand spend from cursor.com (`GET /api/usage-summary`), using the session token in `~/.config/cursor/auth.json`. Refresh is reactive: vct re-reads the file each poll and uses the token while it is valid, since the official Cursor client keeps it fresh.

**Automatic token refresh.** For Claude and Codex, when a token is near expiry or rejected, vct refreshes it and writes the new token back to the provider's own credential file (in that CLI's exact format), so a token is reused across checks rather than refreshed every time. If a refresh cannot proceed, the panel shows a `run: <provider> auth login` hint instead of breaking. Copilot (long-lived token) and Cursor (kept fresh by its own client) are read-only — vct never writes their credential files.

A panel appears only for a provider whose credentials are present. When four panels are shown the Provider Usage table folds out of the band, and at narrow widths the panels wrap to a 2×2 grid. Quota panels appear only in the interactive TUI; `--table`, `--text`, and `--json` are unchanged.

> **Platform note:** on macOS, Claude Code stores its OAuth credentials in the system Keychain rather than `~/.claude/.credentials.json`, so the Claude panel is not shown on macOS. Cursor's `~/.config/cursor` credential path is Linux-oriented.

### Preview: Table & JSON (`vct analysis`)

`--table` renders the per-model breakdown plus a per-provider summary (with an Active Days column); `--json` emits one aggregated row per model.

## Update Command

**Keep your installation up-to-date automatically.**

The update command works for **all installation methods** (npm/pip/cargo/manual) by directly downloading and replacing the binary from GitHub releases.

### Basic Usage

```bash
# Check for updates
vct update --check

# Interactive update with confirmation
vct update

# Force update — always downloads latest version
vct update --force
```

### Preview (`vct update --check`)

```
Current version: v1.3.0
Checking for latest release...
Latest version: v1.3.0 — you are up to date!
```

---

## Version Command

Report the embedded build metadata (binary version, Rust toolchain, Cargo version):

```bash
vct version          # Pretty table
vct version --text   # One-field-per-line, script-friendly
vct version --json   # Machine-readable JSON
```

```text
┌───────────────┬──────────┐
│ Version       ┆ 1.3.0    │
│ Rust Version  ┆ 1.96.0   │
│ Cargo Version ┆ 1.96.0   │
└───────────────┴──────────┘
```

The binary version is produced at build time by `build.rs` from `git describe`, so development builds include commit count + short SHA + `dirty` suffix when applicable.

---

## Fetch Command

**Print a provider's raw quota/usage API response — no parsing, no aggregation.**

Calls the same quota endpoint the `usage` dashboard uses (Claude / Codex / Copilot / Cursor) exactly once and prints the raw body, so you can inspect the exact API shape or sanity-check your credentials. It reads each provider's stored credentials and does **not** refresh tokens: if a token is expired, re-auth with that provider's own CLI (`claude` / `codex` / `copilot` / `cursor-agent`).

### Flags

| Flag      | Purpose                                       |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| *(none)*  | Pretty JSON (default)                         |
| `--json`  | Pretty JSON                                   |
| `--text`  | Flattened `key: value` lines, script-friendly |
| `--table` | Flattened Field / Value table                 |

### Basic Usage

```bash
# Raw JSON (default)
vct fetch claude
vct fetch codex
vct fetch copilot
vct fetch cursor

# Flattened plain text
vct fetch codex --text

# Flattened key/value table
vct fetch copilot --table
```

> [!NOTE]
> The response body is printed to stdout as-is. On an HTTP error the body is still printed and the process exits non-zero; a 401/403 additionally prints a `run: <cli> login` hint on stderr.

## Smart Pricing System

### How It Works

1. **Automatic Updates**: Fetches pricing from [LiteLLM](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm) daily
2. **Smart Caching**: Stores pricing in `~/.vct/` for 24 hours
3. **Fuzzy Matching**: Finds best match even for custom model names
4. **Always Accurate**: Ensures you get the latest pricing

### Model Matching

**Priority Order**:

1. **Exact Match**: `claude-sonnet-4` → `claude-sonnet-4`
2. **Normalized**: `claude-sonnet-4-20250514` → `claude-sonnet-4`
3. **Substring**: `custom-gpt-4` → `gpt-4`
4. **Fuzzy (AI-powered)**: Uses Jaro-Winkler similarity (70% threshold)
5. **Fallback**: Shows $0.00 if no match found

### Cost Details

- **Beyond tokens**: Claude web-search tool calls (`server_tool_use.web_search_requests`) are billed per query on top of the token cost; every other model's per-query charge is $0.
- **OpenCode**: a novel model name is priced from its tokens only on an **exact** LiteLLM match; with no exact match, vct trusts the assistant message's own stored cost instead of guessing from a loosely-similar name.
- **Cache is raw**: the daily cache stores the filtered upstream LiteLLM JSON (not a derived shape), so tiered / batch pricing stays available without re-fetching, and a small in-process LRU keeps repeated lookups cheap during a TUI refresh.
