What is RepoSpend?
RepoSpend offers a focused view of AI coding activity by scanning local data sources for tools including Codex, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot. The interface presents repo-level cost breakdowns, cache reuse details, and session timelines through a simple web view that requires no account or external connections. Users launch the tool via a single command to generate summaries of token distribution and agent interactions. Filters allow inspection of specific models or time periods, with export options for further review in other formats. The application emphasizes read-only access and local execution to maintain data control. It supports optional experimental sources and provides confidence indicators for parsed information, all while remaining open for inspection under its license.

What you can use RepoSpend for
Track AI coding spend by repository
RepoSpend aggregates token usage and API-equivalent costs across Git roots, allowing developers to see which projects consume the most resources from Codex, Claude Code, and other supported sources.
Analyze model mix and cache efficiency
The dashboard breaks down usage by model, session, and source while applying Claude cache TTL-aware pricing to highlight reuse rates and cost savings from 5-minute versus 1-hour cache writes.
Review command friction and data quality
Users can inspect agent friction signals that separate blocking failures from routine exits, alongside a Data Doctor report that flags coverage gaps, parser issues, and verification status.

Editor's verdict
Pros
- +Fully local and private with no data leaving the machine
- +Single-command install and quick local-file scan
Cons
- –Support for GitHub Copilot and Cursor is initial/experimental with incomplete cost data
- –No cloud sync or hosted service
Our take: RepoSpend is a solid coding & dev choice. It's valued for fully local and private with no data leaving the machine and single-command install and quick local-file scan. The main trade-off is support for github copilot and cursor is initial/experimental with incomplete cost data. A good pick if you want capable AI without a high upfront cost.
Frequently asked questions
No. It operates entirely locally, reads existing files in read-only mode, binds only to localhost, and sends nothing to external servers.
