About CodeBurn

CodeBurn is an innovative open-source tool designed to help developers track and optimize their AI coding expenses. It seamlessly reads session files generated by popular AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Copilot, among others—covering over 40 integrations. The platform provides detailed insights into token usage and costs, broken down by task, model, project, and pull request, enabling developers to understand exactly where their AI resources are going. Its unique 'Optimize' tab actively identifies wasteful patterns like cache bloat or retry taxes, suggests fixes, and tracks the savings achieved. Running entirely on the user's machine, CodeBurn emphasizes privacy and security, with no account required or data uploads involved. With a growing user base of over 150,000 developers worldwide, it stands out as a transparent, free, and powerful tool for managing AI coding costs effectively.
