I built TokenBoard to track AI coding token usage without uploading prompts or code

A developer built TokenBoard, a local CLI tool that tracks AI coding token usage from Codex without uploading prompts or code. The tool provides aggregate metrics and a leaderboard for developers to compare usage and understand costs. Plans include adding support for Claude Code and other AI coding agents.

AI coding tools are getting good enough that I wanted a simple way to understand usage across real work, not just guesses from billing pages.

So I built TokenBoard: https://token-board.com/ It is a small leaderboard and personal stats page for AI coding usage. The local CLI currently supports Codex and reports aggregate metrics such as:

The main privacy rule is simple: TokenBoard does not upload prompts or code. It only reports usage metrics.

The product is still early. Right now the collector supports Codex, and I plan to add Claude Code and other AI coding agents later. The goal is to make it easier for developers to compare usage, understand cost, and optionally share a small stats card if they want to.

If you use Codex often, I would appreciate feedback on whether this is useful and what metrics would make the leaderboard or profile page better.
