For anyone with a token bill

See what every turn spent.

Bandicot records the tokens, cache reads and cost of every turn, then shows the habits behind them. The prompt prefix stays frozen so caches keep hitting.

The problem

Provider dashboards show a monthly total. They do not tell you which task, which agent or which habit made it.

The promise

Every turn on the ledger, grouped by session, profile and model. We do not claim a saving percentage yet; we show you the bill line by line.

The picture

Know what every turn cost, and spend it on the work that matters.

Why it holds
The usage ledger records tokens, cache reads and cost per turn, session, profile and model.
How soon
The first turn after install is already on the ledger.
What it saves you
No exporting provider dashboards to guess which task burned the budget.

The plan

What does the work, and what is still being built.

Every card names its status. Available now means you can use it today; in development and direction mean it is not shipped yet.

Free Bandicot core

Available now

Solo is free with every capability for one profile. Bring a provider key, a local model, or both; a provider's own bill stays yours.

Paid plans add profiles to an account. Bandicot does not resell model tokens.

A trusted harness around the model

Available now

Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.

The native host owns execution facts. The model proposes work; it does not certify a write, spend, or success.

Projects that hold the work

Available now

Keep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.

A session is anchored to a project boundary so a pivot starts from an intentional context, not accidental history.

Durable work sessions

Available now

Close a client or reconnect after a pause without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.

The host records session state and clients reattach to it. A browser view does not become the source of truth.

A human gate for writes

Available now

When work can change files or systems, Bandicot makes the decision visible before the effect lands.

The approval boundary fails closed when an action is not allowed. The model cannot grant itself permission.

Every token in view

Available now

See the tokens, cache reads and cost of every turn, per session, profile and model, and the habits behind them.

Bandicot reports what the provider or local runtime exposes. A provider that hides usage shows a dash, never a guess.

Choose the model that fits

Available now

Use a local endpoint, a private runtime, or a remote provider without rebuilding the project around one model lab.

Provider adapters keep model choice separate from project state. Remote providers receive the prompts sent to them.

Skills for repeatable work

Available now

Package a way of working once, and every agent in the project can use it.

Skills load on demand, so an unused skill costs no tokens in the prompt.

Recorded versions of the work

Available now

Keep a legible trail of the turn and its effects so a pivot can be reviewed instead of guessed at.

The host treats state changes as recorded events. Reverting is itself part of the history.

For you if

People who pay per token and want to know where it goes.

Not for you if

Flat-rate chat users who never see a token bill.

Questions

Questions before you start

Will Bandicot lower my bill?+

It is built to: a frozen prompt prefix keeps caches warm, history is append-only, compaction runs only at thresholds, and skills load on demand. We have not yet measured a whole-task saving on our fixed corpus, so we do not print a number.

What if my provider hides usage?+

Bandicot shows what the provider or local runtime reports. Where usage is missing you see a dash, never an estimate dressed as fact.

Is the ledger free?+

Yes. Solo is free and includes the usage ledger and the Habits tab.

Spend Audit

Every turn on the ledger, grouped by session, profile and model. We do not claim a saving percentage yet; we show you the bill line by line.
