 "title": "Review AI token spend across local clients by day",
 "page_title": "How to review AI token spend across local clients by day with Pulse",
 "summary": "Chart token use by day, model and agent over any span, priced at public API rates, and share a recap.",
 "who": "A developer or team lead who wants to understand what AI coding tools cost across a week or month.",
 "problem": "Token use is spread across many local AI clients, and there is no single view of what it would cost at API rates.",
 "outcome": "A spend view grouped by day, model and agent, in your chosen currency, plus a shareable recap card for a day, week, month or year.",
 "steps": [
  "Open Pulse and go to the token spend view in its dashboard.",
  "Choose the span you want to review, then group by day, model or agent.",
  "Pick your currency, such as dollars, yuan or yen, to see the estimates in that currency.",
  "Open a usage recap for the period and save the shareable card.",
  "Compare the estimates against the limits on your rings to plan usage for the next period."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Pulse app from https://github.com/qunqin24/Pulse, open the token spend view for the last 30 days, group results by model, and report the top three models by estimated spend in <currency>. Verify that the figures are labelled as estimates priced at public API rates.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Spend figures are estimates priced at public API rates, not invoices, and they cover only the 54 local clients Pulse reads.",

 "lang": "swift",
 "requirements": [
  "A Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, on Apple Silicon or Intel",
  "An existing login for each AI service you want to monitor, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor",
  "Permission to open the app past Gatekeeper, since Pulse has no Apple Developer certificate",
  "For building from source only: full Xcode with the macOS 26 SDK, not just the Command Line Tools"
