Its own README frames it as "htop but for llm tokens", placing it in the recent wave of developer tools that turn cloud AI spend into a live terminal workflow. ### Project history The official repository is a compact Rust project with a README, Cargo metadata, and a short changelog. The changelog records early 0.1.x releases in November and December 2025, with work focused on cost API fixes, chart rendering, filtering, grouping by model or API key, and richer usage summaries. ### Adoption history Available history is limited to the official project repository and package metadata. Homebrew carries the tool as `toktop`, and the upstream README documents `cargo install toktop --locked`, so adoption appears centered on Rust/Cargo and Homebrew users who want terminal-native LLM account monitoring. ### How it is used The README documents running `toktop` after setting `OPENAI_ADMIN_KEY` and `ANTHROPIC_ADMIN_KEY`, passing an env file with `toktop -e .env`, or letting the program prompt for API keys. In package-manager terms, it is a single executable meant to sit beside other terminal observability tools. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, toktop is interesting less as infrastructure history and more as a marker of a new CLI niche: local, terminal-first accounting for metered LLM APIs. Its packaging surface is intentionally small: one binary, MIT license, Cargo install path, and a Homebrew formula. ### Timeline - 2025: Changelog records early 0.1.x releases focused on LLM usage and cost dashboard behavior. - Current: README documents OpenAI and Anthropic admin-key based terminal monitoring. ### Related projects - The README explicitly compares the experience to htop and notes that it is built with Ratatui, aligning it with terminal UI observability tools. ### Sources - - - source_facts.description - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** toktop - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [llmfit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/llmfit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-tools, cli, developer-tools, llm, tui. - [cai](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cai/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: anthropic, cli, developer-tools, llm, openai. - [chronograf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/chronograf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, monitoring. - [crit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/crit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-tools, cli, developer-tools. - [cronboard](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cronboard/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, monitoring. - [jvm-mon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jvm-mon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, monitoring. - [jvmtop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jvmtop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, monitoring. - [llm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/llm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-tools, cli, developer-tools. - [flowrs](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/flowrs/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
