The AI-spend leaderboard · live
Your tokens are rotting.
Up to 96% of what you pay for is the model re-reading context it already saw. One command reads your local logs — nothing leaves your machine — and shows the truth, then ranks you anonymously.

How it works
zero deps · open source$
Run it locally
npx tokenrot reads the usage logs Claude Code & Codex already keep on your disk. No account, no upload, nothing leaves your machine.
%

Rank & share
--compare puts you on this board under a random handle, tells you how to cut the burn, and gives you a receipt worth posting.
