Tokengotchi turns Claude Code usage into a small game
Tokengotchi is a free local tool that turns Claude Code usage logs into a small pet-style game. It runs with one npx command and reads the same local usage files used by ccusage. The stays on the user’s own machine.
Tokens spent in Claude Code become energy for a small hero, and the hero automatically fights through an idle dungeon while the user works. After coding for an hour, the user can come back and see floors cleared, levels gained, and items found. The game includes loot, classes, prestige, and visual growth for the hero.
Progress gives more weight to steady use over raw token volume. It is PvE, so the goal is clearing more dungeon floors rather than competing over who spends more money. The tool is still rough, with some balance issues, and or are requested.
