01 — The Problem
Token usage deserved more personality than a dashboard
I wanted a clearer view into token usage, but not another conventional dashboard. Meowsage began as a challenge to turn an invisible technical signal into a unique, delightful companion
Make coding activity feel alive, not merely measurable
02 — The Approach
A mood systemthat learns your rhythm
Meowsage reads local Claude Code and Codex session logs, scores each tool against its own recent history, and lets the busier signal set the cat’s mood. A heavy user and a light user both see the full range—without an account, API key, or network request
Activity becomes personality
