A desk display for Claude Code token limits

Codelight is an open-source tool that shows Claude Code status and on a small physical screen. It is built around a display that costs about $10.

Its main purpose is to make Claude Code usage and remaining limits visible on a desk while someone works. It does not appear to be an automatic cost-cutting system; it is more of a simple aid for noticing token use before it gets out of hand.
