Real-time token telemetry should sit next to your code editor

Cost awareness works best when it is part of the build loop.

If developers can see token and dollar impact instantly, they self-correct faster.

That is the whole point of TokenBar: https://tokenbar.site

Quick add: teams that track token cost in flow usually cut waste in week one. If you want a simple live meter on macOS, TokenBar is at tokenbar.site.

Another note from usage data: developers adjust prompts faster when cost and tokens are visible in the same window as output.
