What's inside

An always-on status bar gauge and four tabs, from simple to detailed.

Status bar

A live usage figure that turns yellow at 80% and red at 95% of your allowance — included requests, or your monthly budget.

Budget burn-rate

On plans metered in dollars: spend so far, your daily pace, when the budget runs out, and what still fits before the reset.

Requests

The full request log with cost, cache savings, model filters, and CSV export.

Analyze

Rule-based findings — which model dominates your spend, cache efficiency, spike requests, measured promotions — each with a concrete fix.

Sessions

Requests grouped by conversation. Pick up to four and compare cost, cache hit rate, and which models each one used. See it in action ↓

Simulator

Replay any request's token profile against other models' published rates.

Follow one session end to end

Open a single conversation and you get what it cost, request by request — plus findings that name what went wrong and link to the request that caused it. All of it derived from token counts and timestamps; your prompts and your code are never read.

Privacy

Everything runs locally. The only network calls are to cursor.com — no proxy server, no separate login. The extension reads the session Cursor already created when you signed in. See the README for the full auth model.
