Gauge – see where your Claude Code subscription goes

**Gauge** is a project at github.com/joey-io/gauge that aims to show where a **Claude Code** subscription’s usage goes. It showed up on Hacker News under the Claude/Codex/Fable lane with 2 points and 0 comments (item id 49149111).

The tool’s stated job is usage visibility: map spend and activity so a Claude Code subscriber can see which work, sessions, or habits consume the plan. The public surface is the GitHub repo; no further architecture, benchmarks, or product numbers are in the given facts.

For engineers who run coding agents under a fixed Claude Code plan, that kind of breakdown matters because subscription cost is opaque without instrumentation. Builders who share a seat, automate agent loops, or run heavy refactors need a concrete answer to “what burned the quota,” not a monthly total alone.

The HN tagging puts Gauge next to Claude, Codex, and Fable—adjacent agent/coding-assistant tooling rather than general cloud cost dashboards. Early traction is thin (2 points, no discussion yet), so it is still an early signal, not an established category leader.

Watch the repo for how it attributes usage (by project, by session, by model or feature) and whether it stays Claude Code–only or broadens. If you already hit plan limits, clone or star github.com/joey-io/gauge and compare its breakdown to whatever raw usage your provider already exposes before you change workflow or upgrade.
