About TokenTelemetry
TokenTelemetry is an open-source developer tool designed to give you deep visibility into what your AI coding agents think, cost, and do. Instead of requiring complex setups, TokenTelemetry works by reading the session logs that your AI coding agents already write directly to your disk, transforming them into a comprehensive local dashboard.
With support for 13+ popular agents—including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Grok, OpenCode, Cline, Qwen, Pi, and Hermes—the tool tracks crucial metrics such as token usage, cost accumulation, step-by-step trace replays, subagents, skills, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) calls.
Built with developer privacy and simplicity in mind, TokenTelemetry requires no SDK, no code changes, and no cloud account. It can be installed with a single command, keeping all of your data entirely secure and local on your machine.
Pros of TokenTelemetry
- Supports 13+ popular AI coding agents out of the box (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Cline, etc.)
- Requires zero SDK integrations, code modifications, or cloud accounts
- Complete local-first architecture ensures all session data stays on your machine
- Provides granular insights including token consumption, costs, and step-by-step trace replays
- Open-source developer tool with a simple one-command installation
Cons of TokenTelemetry
- Relies entirely on existing session logs written to disk by the supported AI agents
- Limited to local dashboards without native cloud-sharing or team synchronization features mentioned

About Vizhi
Vizhi (derived from the Tamil word for "eye") acts as a specialized mission control dashboard for monitoring and managing your Codex CLI sessions. Developed by indie developer Ravi Shankar, Vizhi is designed to keep an eye on active execution sessions so developers don't have to constantly tab back and forth into their terminal windows.
The tool provides deep integration with hardware controllers like the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, enabling users to keep track of up to six live sessions simultaneously. Through this physical interface, developers can perform quick action executions, such as one-press session approvals, and issue local voice prompts powered by Whisper.
For developers who do not own a hardware keypad, Vizhi provides a local browser dashboard that offers visibility and control over active sessions. As an open-source developer tool available on GitHub, Vizhi fits seamlessly into terminal-centric AI development workflows.
Pros of Vizhi
- Monitors up to six live Codex CLI sessions simultaneously
- Integrates with Logitech MX Creative Keypad for tactile, one-press approvals
- Supports local Whisper voice prompts for easy command input
- Offers a local browser dashboard for users without a physical keypad
- Open-source developer tool available on GitHub
Cons of Vizhi
- Full physical experience requires a specific device (Logitech MX Creative Keypad)
- Designed specifically around Codex CLI workflows rather than general terminal tasks
