Privacy

TokenEater is designed to stay silent on the network side. Your usage data and Claude Code sessions stay on your machine.

What TokenEater talks to

A single network destination: api.anthropic.com, to retrieve your usage data via your Claude Code OAuth token.

  • No analytics
  • No telemetry
  • No third-party services
  • No automatic error reporting

What stays local

  • Your OAuth token - read from your Claude Code credentials, never sent elsewhere
  • Your history - parsed from ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl with no extra network calls
  • Your preferences - theme, layout, pins, stored in ~/Library/Preferences/com.tokeneater.app.plist
  • The usage cache between API ticks

Sparkle updates

The update check talks to GitHub (api.github.com and github.com/AThevon/TokenEater/releases) to fetch the version list and signed DMG. No user identifier transmitted, it's a standard HTTPS fetch.

The app is open source. You can verify for yourself at github.com/AThevon/TokenEater.
