A local command-line tool that reads your Claude Code session logs and flags eight kinds of token waste, such as huge bash output, repeated file reads and retry storms. It puts a rough dollar figure on each and suggests a one-line fix, and it can open a small local dashboard.
RiskyKey files read, not run
The CLI sends an anonymous telemetry ping to the author's own server (api/telemetry.ts, README "How it works") that is turned off with BURND_NO_TELEMETRY=1, which reads as on by default, while the README and SKILL.md say "Nothing leaves your machine" and "Zero network calls".
How we know
We read the README and key files, not every source file, and did not run it, so the most we can say is Idea adapted or Risky.
Good for
Claude Code users who suspect they overspend and want to see where the tokens actually go.
Not for
Anyone not using Claude Code, and anyone wanting exact billing numbers; the savings are estimates.
