Count used tokens and estimate project cost.

mot # scoped to current directory
mot --all # aggregation across all local sessions
mot --since 7d # only count tokens in last week
mot --session 019d8e7f # only count one local session by id, id prefix, file name, or path
mot --select-session # choose a scoped local session with an arrow-key picker
mot --no-activity-calendar # hide the activity calendar
mot --exclude-unknown-models # drop usage records whose model is missing or unpriced
mot --all --since 1m # all sessions, only count tokens in past month
mot --all --host vm-a --host vm-b # include remote VM sessions over SSH

When stdout is an interactive terminal, table output also renders a GitHub-style Ratatui activity calendar for the last 53 weeks. Squares are shaded by daily token activity. Activity days and peak hour are bucketed with the current local timezone offset of the mot process. Activity days come from the same timestamped usage records as the daily rollups:

• Codex: token-count event deltas are assigned to each event timestamp, so a session that spans multiple days contributes to each active day.
• Claude: assistant responses are deduplicated by request/message id, then assigned to their response timestamp.

The calendar footer shows favorite model, total tokens, sessions, largest session by token volume, current and longest streaks, active days since first activity in the displayed calendar range, longest session by duration, and peak hour.

The footer also includes a randomly selected book-scale comparison. Book word counts are converted to estimated tokens using the English rule of thumb that one token is roughly three quarters of a word.

# Linux/macOS quick install

Linux release artifacts include x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu builds produced on Ubuntu 22.04, matching Ubuntu 22.04 x86_64 VMs, plus aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu for ARM Linux hosts. The quick installer verifies checksums.txt before installing.

mot can aggregate sessions from remote hosts over SSH:

mot --all --host user@vm-a --host user@vm-b

Notes:

• Remote scanning reads the same default directories as local mode: ~/.codex/sessions and ~/.claude/projects.
• To bootstrap a Linux remote, run curl -fsSL https://github.com/daulet/mot/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh on that host.
• It shells out to local ssh and runs mot --json on the remote host, so mot must be installed remotely and available in PATH.
• Remote activity stats are requested with the caller's local timezone offset so calendar days, streaks, and peak hour use one shared boundary before reports are merged.
• If a remote host has an older/incompatible mot (or missing mot), that host is skipped and surfaced in Warnings output.
• For cross-host aggregation, --all is usually the right choice because scoped mode still filters by the recorded session cwd.
• Compatibility aliases still work: --global, --window, and --ssh-host.
