The local CLI currently supports Codex and reports aggregate metrics such as:</p> <ul> <li>tokens</li> <li>sessions</li> <li>messages</li> <li>models</li> <li>estimated cost</li> <li>active days</li> </ul> <p>The main privacy rule is simple: TokenBoard does not upload prompts or code. It only reports usage metrics.</p> <p>The product is still early. Right now the collector supports Codex, and I plan to add Claude Code and other AI coding agents later. The goal is to make it easier for developers to compare usage, understand cost, and optionally share a small stats card if they want to.</p> <p>If you use Codex often, I would appreciate feedback on whether this is useful and what metrics would make the leaderboard or profile page better.</p> <p>Site: <a href="https://token-board.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://token-board.com/</a></p> ai programming
