Why

You run Claude Code or Codex for hours and all you see at the end is a bill or a rate-limit warning. Tallybook prices every session from the transcripts already on your disk, shows what the money went on, and what it would have cost on a cheaper choice.

No proxy, no API key, nothing leaves your machine. The first run covers every session you already have.
