You know what you pay every month. You don't know what you got for it.

TokNotch adds up everything your coding tools actually ran, prices it at what the same work would have cost on the published API rates, and puts one number in front of you:

13.4× paid back

Or, when a plan hasn't earned its keep yet: **$18 to go**.

The payback number

Tell TokNotch what a plan costs and when it renews. That's the whole setup.

For **Claude Code** it usually doesn't even ask — the plan is recognised from `~/.claude.json`, the ordinary config file Claude Code already keeps. For **Codex** it reads the ChatGPT plan the same way. For everyone else you pick your plan by name from a list (Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus, Google AI Ultra…) rather than looking a price up, or type any figure you like.

It then counts **by your real billing period, not the calendar month**. A plan billed on the 3rd paid for the 3rd through the 2nd — judging it on what happened since the 1st quietly mixes in days the last payment alr
