BudgetClaw

available

Local spend monitor for Claude Code. Watches your session logs, tracks cost per project and git branch, warns you before you hit a cap, and kills the process when you blow past it.

  • Per-project, per-branch budget caps (daily / weekly / monthly)
  • Phone alerts via ntfy, SIGTERM on breach
  • Zero keys. Zero prompts. Reads local logs only.
  • Single Go binary, 5 MB, no runtime
