CodeBurn

What is CodeBurn?

CodeBurn is a developer tool that helps you understand how much your AI coding workflow costs and where that usage comes from. It provides a desktop dashboard for reviewing token consumption, spend, and activity across supported coding assistants, models, projects, and tasks. Developers can use it to spot expensive patterns, compare usage over time, and understand which tools contribute most to their monthly bill. The app is designed for people who work with multiple AI coding tools and want a clearer view of local usage data without relying on a hosted analytics service. CodeBurn is published by Resham Joshi and is available as a native desktop app for macOS, with related releases for other desktop platforms.

Key features

• Track AI coding token usage and estimated cost across supported tools
• Break down spend by model, project, task, and session activity
• Review daily and month-to-date usage in a desktop dashboard
• Spot costly patterns and efficiency trends over time
• See which coding assistants contribute most to overall spend

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

CodeBurn is a legitimate desktop analytics tool for AI coding usage. To do its job, it may read local usage data created by supported coding tools, so the information it displays can reflect project activity and spending patterns. That access is consistent with its purpose, but it is still wise to use it only if you are comfortable with one app analyzing data from your development workflow. Removing it should only affect your ability to view CodeBurn’s dashboards and reports.

Recommendation: Keep CodeBurn if you actively monitor AI coding costs or want a clearer breakdown of tool usage. If you no longer use it, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you may lose saved app settings or local history connected to the app.
