Usage tracking
Start with a guide that explains what to watch during active sessions.
The best guides focus on timing, session growth, request activity, and workflow visibility rather than just on end-of-month totals.
Guides
Guides for tracking usage, reducing waste, and keeping AI spend legible.
These pages are written for people searching broader questions like how to track AI token usage or how to reduce token costs without slowing development down.

Overview
Use the guides when the problem is bigger than one provider.
Not every search starts with a brand name. Many people are looking for a better mental model: how to track AI token usage, how to reduce waste, or how to monitor mixed-provider workflows without building an ops stack.
The guides are where TokenBar explains that broader problem space and then routes readers toward the more specific provider and use-case pages when needed.
For more context, read Browse workflow pages, continue with See pricing, and keep Track AI token usage open if you want the next step from this page.
Cost control
Learn how to reduce waste without making development worse.
The goal is to keep iteration speed while cutting repeated requests, oversized context, and background traffic that does not need to be there.
Navigation
Move from the broad problem to the right detailed page.
Once you know whether the issue is OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, install friction, or pricing, the site points you toward the narrower route.

Open pageHow to use the guides
Start with the guide that best matches the question in your head, not necessarily the product term. If you are thinking about tracking usage, start there. If you are thinking about reducing spend, start there.
Once the broad model makes sense, the site becomes easier to navigate because the more specific pages start to map naturally onto your workflow.
Why the guides matter for SEO
Broad informational searches are often where new discovery happens. The guides give TokenBar a way to show up for people who have not heard the brand name yet but clearly have the underlying problem.
They also create stronger internal linking into pricing, features, provider pages, and use cases, which makes the rest of the site more legible.
What to do after reading one
If the guide confirms that the problem is live visibility, the next step is usually either a provider page like OpenAI or Claude, or a workflow page like AI cost tracking or menu bar token tracking.
If you are already convinced, jump straight to pricing or download and install the app on macOS.
