no ethical consumption
A pixel dino for Claude Code. It eats your tokens, grows fat on your spend, sweats and panics when the burn rate climbs, and explodes when you hit your plan limit. You're going to spend the tokens anyway; might as well know how much.

Five moods, three sizes
The stage follows today's spend. The mood follows the burn rate over the last ten minutes and how much of your 5-hour window is gone, whichever is worse.

Game over until the reset, then a new dino hatches.

python3 -m nec --galleryHow it reads your spend
Local logs, counts only
It reads Claude Code's session logs on your machine and keeps token counts and timestamps, never message content.
API-equivalent cost
Per-model rates, cache writes and reads, fast mode. On a subscription that's not your bill, just the size of the meal.
Plan limits
One line in the status-line script saves the 5-hour and weekly usage and their reset times, nothing else.
