feat(app): transient project selector in the desktop top bar (#1680)
* feat(app): transient project selector in the desktop top bar

Scopes every report to one project path for the current session through
the same narrowing the VS Code workspace scope uses. The saved project
filter is never written; a restart is back on all projects.

* fix(app): let the name pickers ellipsize before the top bar overflows

* fix(app): list only selectable, non-zero projects in the top bar picker

Rows with no session cwd (the Cursor and Grok Bot imports, provider label
fallbacks) report their label as the path, so the picker offered names the
bridge refuses and dash-to-slash guesses like eywa/lab. Keep only absolute
paths, and drop rows whose lifetime cost rounds to $0.00. The old test that
rooted a slashless Codex path is replaced: Codex now records the absolute cwd,
and a slashless path is always the label fallback.

* fix(app): show a toast when a project pick is refused

The pick was dropped silently. Also pin that an encoded -Users-... label
never reaches the picker list.

CodeBurn for VS Code

See where your AI coding spend goes without leaving the editor: by project, model, session, pull request and day, for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, OpenCode and every other tool the CodeBurn CLI reads.

CodeBurn reads the session logs these tools already write on your machine. Nothing is uploaded, and the extension sends no telemetry.

The CodeBurn dashboard Overview in a dark VS Code window

The Overview for this workspace: spend, activity, efficiency and the month so far.

The why it cost view for one session

Why a session cost what it did, with the prompts worth a look ranked by cost.

The status bar item with its hover open

Today's spend in the status bar. Hover for the week, the month and this workspace.

The CodeBurn summary in the activity bar

The activity bar summary: this workspace, all projects, top projects and models, and Optimize.

The CodeBurn dashboard Overview in a light VS Code window

It follows your editor's theme: light, dark or high contrast.

What you get

  • Status bar. Today's spend, with ~ when part of it is estimated. Hover for this week, this month, this workspace, the top model and every plan quota with its reset time. Click to open the dashboard.
  • Activity bar summary. This workspace's spend, all projects for today, 7 days and this month, the top projects and models, quota bars and the Optimize findings, with quick actions.
  • Dashboard. The full CodeBurn desktop dashboard in an editor tab: Overview, Sessions with the per-session "why it cost" view, Pull requests, Spend, Models, Optimize, Compare, Compare periods, Plans and Settings.
  • Workspace aware. The dashboard opens on the current workspace's projects. Switch to all projects from the scope menu or the editor title bar. A workspace counts the sessions started in its folders or below; a linked git worktree counts toward its main repository, the same way the CLI files it.
  • Native look. Follows your light, dark or high contrast theme in VS Code and its forks, in English, French, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), following the editor's display language.

Commands

All under CodeBurn in the Command Palette:

Command What it does

Settings

Setting Default
codeburn.workspaceOnly true Open the dashboard on this workspace's projects
codeburn.defaultPeriod today The period the dashboard opens on
codeburn.refreshInterval 1m manual, 30s, 1m, 3m, 5m or 10m. Only a focused window or a visible summary refreshes
codeburn.statusBar.format cost cost, costAndQuota, workspace or hidden
codeburn.currency empty A three-letter code. Changes the CodeBurn CLI's currency, shared with every CodeBurn app
codeburn.provider all Count one provider in the status bar and summary
codeburn.quotaProviders all Plans whose quota CodeBurn checks
codeburn.nodePath empty A Node.js 22.13+ to run the CLI with, if the editor's own is too old

Requirements

Nothing to install. The CodeBurn CLI ships inside the extension and runs on the editor's built-in Node.js. Current VS Code, Cursor and Antigravity ship Node 24, which is all the CLI needs.

On an older editor whose Node is below 22.13, CodeBurn looks for a Node.js 22.13 or later on your machine and uses that. If there is none, it runs on the editor's Node and says which tools it cannot read: Cursor, OpenCode and Copilot usage needs node:sqlite. Install Node 22 or set codeburn.nodePath.

Privacy

  • Session logs are read locally by the bundled CLI. Your prompts, code, file names and project names never leave your machine.
  • The extension has no telemetry.
  • The bundled CLI makes the same few requests it makes anywhere: model prices from LiteLLM and exchange rates (for a non-USD currency), each at most once a day, and, if you use Cursor, your own usage export from cursor.com with the Cursor app's login. "cursorSync": false in ~/.config/codeburn/config.json turns that off.
  • Some dashboard actions reach the network only when you run them: scanning your local network for other devices, sharing a report, pushing usage to your own OTLP endpoint (sync, off until you set it up) and adding a plugin.
  • Plan quotas are read from each provider's own API with the login already on your machine, the same requests the CodeBurn desktop app makes. Remove a provider from codeburn.quotaProviders to stop them.

Works in

VS Code 1.82 or later, and the editors built on it: Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity and VSCodium. Uses no proposed APIs.
