Fractal Manifold has introduced the Token Monitor, a 4-inch ESP32-S3-based desktop display for monitoring real-time AI coding assistant usage. A local broker service fetches the usage data and transfers it to the device over a secure connection, keeping credentials on the user’s machine. The local broker acts as an MCP server and exposes 17 hardware management tools to AI assistants like Claude Code and Codex. The ESP32-S3-based desktop Token Monitor is now available on Kickstarter with a funding goal of €25,000. The Super Early Bird reward is priced at €99 (about $115) for a white Token Monitor device, while the standard Early Bird tier costs €120.
