Turn AI coding tokens into a tiny pixel arcade.
Token Arcade is a local-first game for Claude Code and Codex usage. It groups your model token history by project, turns newly discovered tokens into arcade coins, and lets you spend those coins on capsule pulls, collectibles, cabinets, and achievements.
This is deliberately not a productivity dashboard. It does not score your commits, tests, documentation, or output quality. Tokens are the only gameplay input: use a model, sync your history, watch the arcade grow.
- One honest input. Token usage drives the entire game; there are no arbitrary productivity scores or judgments about how you work.
- Every project becomes a cabinet. More tokens unlock richer machine stages, brighter lights, and a visible history of the project growing.
- Progress changes the room. Coins fund 50 collectible prizes, and the latest signs, buddies, decor, trophies, and badges appear in your arcade. Keep the tidy automatic layout or arrange them yourself in Decorate Mode, while permanent display upgrades mark bigger milestones.
- Your history stays yours. Scanning, aggregation, saves, and demo data all remain on your machine with no account, telemetry, or cloud backend.
V0.1 local release. The first complete arcade loop is ready to play: sync real local usage or deliberately enter an isolated demo, earn coins, level project cabinets, collect all 50 prizes, unlock permanent collection upgrades, equip room themes and profile frames, and recycle duplicate prizes into a guaranteed missing collectible. Token Arcade remains a local-first preview rather than a hosted service.
All screenshots below use isolated, fictional demo data. No personal projects or local usage history are included.
Each project has a physical machine, token total, cabinet level, base coin value, provider, and recent reward rail.
Capsule pulls add collectibles to the display and award achievements without turning duplicate drops into a slow, blocking card queue.
The collection is a trophy gallery, not a list of browser cards.

- Local token-history scans for Claude Code and Codex, grouped by project.
- A single token-to-coin economy:
10,000 tokens = 1 coin. - Fifty cabinet levels across five visual stages.
- Fifty collectible prizes with four permanent prize-wall upgrades at 10, 25, 40, and 50 unique discoveries.
- Capsule pulls, a reviewable x10 result ticker, duplicate dust, and a guaranteed missing-prize exchange inside a physical 50-slot prize cabinet.
- Automatic or player-arranged in-room collectible displays plus an always-visible next arcade upgrade goal, so every useful unlock has an immediate destination.
- Unlockable room themes and profile frames with persistent equipped states.
- Achievement gallery and Simplified Chinese / English interface switching.
- An explicit no-history choice plus separate demo and live save slots, so fictional progress never leaks into real usage.
- Pixel-art canvas UI, bitmap font, sound feedback, and no account or cloud service.
Requirements: Node.js 22+ and npm.
git clone https://github.com/Kevin9703/token-arcade.git
cd token-arcade
npm install
npm run devThen open http://localhost:4173.
Use SYNC to scan local usage. If no readable history is available, the app
can be explored in demo mode. Progress stays in browser localStorage on your
machine.
Useful commands:
npm run build
npm run typecheck
npm test
# with npm run dev running in another terminal:
node scripts/verify.mjsThe app binds its server to 127.0.0.1. It reads local Claude Code/Codex
history only to aggregate token totals by project; it does not upload history,
send telemetry, require an account, or expose the scanner to your network.
