Claude Spend
Claude Spend is a local usage dashboard for Claude Code. It is meant for people who keep hitting their Claude Code limit and want to see where that usage goes. The page presents it as a terminal command that produces a browser-based breakdown of local Claude Code data.
Its workflow is described in three steps: open a terminal, run npx claude-spend, and wait for a browser tab to open with a personal dashboard. The dashboard shows a usage breakdown with conversations ranked by how much they consumed, a list of the top 20 costliest prompts, and daily patterns that highlight which days use up the limit fastest. The page says the tool reads files Claude Code already stores locally, downloads temporarily, and starts a mini dashboard. It also says that nothing is sent to the internet and that no user data leaves the machine.
Claude Spend is described as requiring no install and no sign-up. It is presented as open source and free forever, with GitHub links on the page and an npm command for launching it from the terminal. The page also states that it runs entirely on the user’s machine and collects no user data. It is made by Aniket Parihar.
