Token Monitor, An ESP32-S3 desktop display that tracks AI coding assistant usage
It shows usage information including quota consumption, session limits, token counts, reset timers, and estimated token costs. The broker also requires a local runtime environment with Node.js (≥20), Python 3.11+ (via uv, pip, or venv), or Go (≥1.25). It listens for LAN-based polling on port 8765 using HMAC-signed, replay-protected requests, so no telemetry or raw code is transmitted externally.
