See what your AI coding agents use. Then make every token count.
Ork Meter tracks your Claude Code and Codex usage in one live dashboard. Ork Meter Plus adds a plugin that trims noisy tool output before the agent reads it.
Free to start. Only usage numbers leave your machine.
Up and running in minutes.
Install the plugin
Add Ork Meter to Claude Code or Codex. It runs on your computer, next to the agent.
Connect once
Approve the connection in your browser. The plugin then reports model, tokens and time as you work.
See spend, then trim it with Plus
Your dashboard updates live. With Plus, the plugin keeps noise out of the model’s context and records each estimated saving locally.
Your usage, in plain numbers.
Modeled on two founders running AI coding agent crews for 14 days.

Plus: what the plugin trimmedESTIMATE
| Optimization | Times | Est. tokens |
|---|---|---|
| Oversized tool output reduced | 1,840 | 201M |
| Test noise reduced | 566 | 86M |
| Repeated reads reduced | 826 | 54M |
| Oversized reads bounded | 130 | 39M |
What the trimming is worth: 380M tokens is about $896 at published per-token rates, or about $5 at these founders’ effective plan rate ($280 over 21.08B tokens). On a flat plan the win is headroom: fewer tokens against the plan’s limits, more work before throttling. From the plugin’s local savings ledger. Estimated at about 4 bytes per token.
Ork Meter shows the usage. Plus helps you use less of it.
Plus runs inside the plugin on your machine and keeps the full original of anything it reduces, ready for the agent to open. The figures Plus shows are projections from our own benchmarks; your results will vary and are not guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions
What data leaves my computer?
Usage metadata: tool and model, a request ID, a timestamp, token counts by category, any charge your provider reports, and your connection’s labels. Your prompts, code and AI responses stay on your machine. See the privacy policy.
Where do the Plus optimizations run?
On your machine, inside the plugin. Anything it trims is saved in full to a local file the agent can open.
How do I see what Plus saves?
The plugin keeps a local ledger of every trim, and Plus compares your usage with and without each optimization in your own data.
How does Plus billing work?
Plus is free for everyone through October 31, 2026, then 7 days free for each new account. You choose when to buy, per seat, monthly or yearly.
