The local CLI currently supports Codex and reports aggregate metrics such as:\n\nThe main privacy rule is simple: TokenBoard does not upload prompts or code. It only reports usage metrics.\n\nThe 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.\n\nIf you use Codex often, I would appreciate feedback on whether this is useful and what metrics would make the leaderboard or profile page better.\n\nSite: [https://token-board.com/](https://token-board.com/)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-tokenboard-to-track-ai-coding-token-usage-without-uploading-prompts-or", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/hui_chen_2437f5c7248178f9/i-built-tokenboard-to-track-ai-coding-token-usage-without-uploading-prompts-or-code-39ek", "published_at": "2026-06-27 11:26:08+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-27 11:33:50.696697+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "large-language-models", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["TokenBoard", "Codex", "Claude Code"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-tokenboard-to-track-ai-coding-token-usage-without-uploading-prompts-or", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-tokenboard-to-track-ai-coding-token-usage-without-uploading-prompts-or.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-tokenboard-to-track-ai-coding-token-usage-without-uploading-prompts-or.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/i-built-tokenboard-to-track-ai-coding-token-usage-without-uploading-prompts-or.jsonld"}}
