A Claude Code session that started small hit $750 before you looked up. You had no idea until it was over.
You don't know which project is burning the most until the invoice lands and it's too late.
Subscription limits reset every 5 hours. Opus burns them 3x faster than Sonnet. By the time Claude Code stops responding, you've already lost the session.
See exactly what the current Claude Code session is costing as it runs. Per-session, per-project, always current.
Drill into any project — total spend, session history, token counts, and which files got touched most.
Set spend thresholds and get notified before a session gets expensive. Your budget, your rules.
Detects repeated file access, edit-undo cycles, and identical tool calls. Flags stuck agents before they burn further.
Catch abnormal token burn rates instantly. If something's running at 3x your average, you'll know in seconds.
A full dashboard app with deep session detail, plus a menu bar component for ambient cost awareness without switching windows.
Live 5-hour window usage, weekly Opus cap, and weekly all-model cap — visualized as progress bars so you never hit a wall mid-session.
BurnScope watches your token velocity in real time. If you're burning fast enough to hit your limit in under 30 minutes, you'll know — before Claude Code stops.
BurnScope quietly syncs with Claude Code in the background — your rate-limit bars, spend numbers, and session window all update automatically. No more guessing how close you are to the wall.
