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
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TokenTelemetry?
TokenTelemetry is an open-source local dashboard that reads session logs written to disk by AI coding agents to track metrics like token usage, costs, subagents, MCP calls, and step-by-step traces.
Which AI coding agents are supported?
It supports 13+ agents including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Grok, OpenCode, Cline, Qwen, Pi, and Hermes.
Do I need a cloud account or SDK to use TokenTelemetry?
No. TokenTelemetry requires no SDK, no code changes, and no cloud account. Everything runs locally on your machine and can be installed with a single command.
About WebMotion
WebMotion is a highly technical, open-source tool designed for browser-native video composition. It fundamentally shifts how programmatic video is created by eliminating the need for heavy server-side infrastructure like render farms, headless Chrome instances, or even FFmpeg. Instead, it leverages the DOM and the modern WebCodecs API to compose and encode MP4 videos directly within the user's browser. The core philosophy of WebMotion is deterministic rendering. Every single frame generated by the tool is a pure function of its frame index, meaning developers have absolute, frame-by-frame control over the output. This makes it an exceptionally powerful utility for developers and creators looking to programmatically generate data visualizations, generative art, or automated marketing videos using familiar web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) entirely client-side.
Pros of WebMotion
- Operates entirely in the browser, eliminating server costs and the need for complex backend rendering infrastructure.
- Utilizes modern WebCodecs for fast, efficient, and native MP4 encoding.
- Completely open-source, allowing developers to inspect, modify, and host the tool themselves.
Cons of WebMotion
- Requires a solid understanding of web development and programmatic rendering, making it inaccessible to non-technical users.
- Performance and rendering speed are heavily reliant on the user's local machine and browser capabilities rather than scalable cloud servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install FFmpeg or run a backend server to use WebMotion?
No. WebMotion is entirely browser-native. It uses the WebCodecs API to encode video directly in the DOM, so there is no need for FFmpeg, headless Chrome, or a backend render farm.
What does it mean that 'every frame is a pure function of the frame index'?
It means the rendering is deterministic. You write code that defines exactly what a frame should look like based solely on its sequence number (e.g., Frame 1, Frame 2), ensuring perfect, predictable, and repeatable animations.
