See your rate limit coming. Ship before it hits.
Tokens 4 Breakfast sits in your menu bar and tracks live token usage, burn rate, and spend across every AI tool you use — so the 5-hour reset never catches you mid-thought.

Two screens. That's it.
The one you glance at in your menu bar every minute. And the one you open when something looks off.
Menu bar view
The screen you glance at every minute.
Today’s spend, your Claude Code window, Focus Mode, and the recent history stay in one surface so you can keep building without checking a dashboard.
Settings view
The screen you open when something looks off.
Provider setup stays short and obvious: Claude Code and GitHub Copilot connect from local config, the rest are a quick key paste, and you are back in the menu bar.
This is not about analytics. It is about protecting flow.
The buyer is not trying to manage infrastructure. They are trying to stay in the build. Tokens 4 Breakfast earns the purchase by keeping one ugly surprise from killing the session.
No more mid-task interruptions
You know exactly how much runway you have before Claude cuts out. No surprises at minute 47 of a long agent run.
No more end-of-month bill panic
The month-end total is predictable from day one. Tokens 4 Breakfast shows your projected spend every morning.
No more context-switching
The number lives in your menu bar. You never have to open a dashboard, check a browser tab, or log in to anything.
What shows up first
Most users find $47/month they didn't know they were spending — in the first week.
That is the first moment where the app pays for itself: the cost becomes visible while there is still time to change course.
Four features carry the entire promise.
Everything else supports these. The page stays disciplined so buyers understand exactly why this app is different before they hit pricing.
Ambient rate-limit warning
The menu bar cup shifts from calm to amber to red before Claude Code rate limits your session.
You do not need another dashboard to tell you your runway is collapsing. The warning stays visible while you are still working.

Month-end bill prediction
See where today’s pace lands by month-end while there is still time to react.
Spend becomes easier to manage once the total is visible early instead of appearing as a surprise at the end of the month.

Typical projection
Zero-setup onboarding
Claude Code and GitHub Copilot connect from local config. Cursor, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, and OpenRouter take one key.
This is built for builders in the middle of work, not for people who want another configuration project.

Typical setup
Session budget / Focus Mode
Set a spend cap before you start, then get warned before you drift past it.
The point is to stop the accidental runaway agent run while the session is still open in front of you.

From developers who stopped guessing
These are the moments the app is built for: switching models sooner, catching runaway sessions earlier, and seeing all provider spend in one place.

I didn't realize I was burning $60/month on Claude Opus for tasks Sonnet handles just fine. Found it on day one.
Alex M., indie developer
“
The Focus Mode session budget is the only thing that's stopped me from accidentally running a runaway agent loop while I grab coffee.
Priya K., full-stack engineer

I track 4 providers: Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, and Copilot. This is the only app that shows them all in one place.

Pro is for builders who want control before the bill gets weird.
The upgrade story should feel urgent, not administrative. Focus Mode, subscription advice, and project cost attribution all speak directly to how serious builders decide whether a tool stays open.
Pro
Focus Mode
Set a session budget before you start. Get a notification before you hit it. Stop the accidental runaway agent run before it turns into a bill spike.
Pro
Subscription Optimizer
Find out if you're paying for Claude Max 5x when you're only using 30% of the token window. Switch down. Save $80/month.
Pro
Project Cost Attribution
Tag sessions by client or project. Know exactly what each piece of work is costing you in AI time before you invoice.
Roadmap
Coming next: multi-machine rollup
If you use Claude Code on both a laptop and a desktop, a future sync layer will pull those sessions into one view without turning the product into a cloud dashboard.
Privacy
Your data never leaves your Mac.
Tokens 4 Breakfast does not need a cloud backend, an account, or a telemetry pipeline. Your usage data stays in a local SQLite database on your machine, so the app keeps working even when you are offline.
