Strava for Claude Code, the global tokenmaxxing Leaderboard

You spin up dozens of agents and spend thousands on tokens, but have no way to track or share the journey. One command logs your spend, streaks, and stats. Compare your pace to the top AI builders worldwide. Code like an athlete.

Hey PH! 👋 @markmdev and I made Straude.
The NYTimes recently covered the "tokenmaxxing" trend sweeping across Silicon Valley — the idea that AI token consumption is becoming the new status metric for AI-native builders. Companies like Meta, OpenAI, and Shopify are tracking it on internal dashboards. Jensen Huang proposed giving engineers a token budget as high as 50% of their salary.
At the same time, I found the experience of agentic coding gets pretty isolating. You spin up dozens of agents and spend thousands on tokens, but have no way to track, compare, or share the journey. And since there’s no “town hall” where AI builders gather, you can’t easily learn from how the best builders are pushing these tools to their limits.
Straude fixes that:
One command `npx straude` logs your Claude Code or Codex sessions: tokens consumed, spend, models used. Support for other agents coming soon.
Compete on a global leaderboard, build your streak, and get inspired by what the top 1% of AI builders are pushing daily.
Privacy-first: only aggregate stats leave your machine, no code or session history.
Zero install, zero config.
How it works:
Sign up at straude.com
Run `npx straude` at the end of a Claude Code / Codex session
Your stats sync to the feed and leaderboard automatically
It's completely free. The project is open source on GitHub.
Strava made lonely sport (running) social and fun. Straude does the same for agentic engineering. You wouldn't train for a marathon without logging your miles. Why would you burn through tokens without tracking on Straude?
We'd love for you to sign up, log your first session, and share Straude with the friend you know who burns the most tokens 🔥
Would love your feedback — what features would you want to see next?
This is the most 2026 product I've seen all week and I mean that as a compliment. I'm genuinely curious what my monthly token spend looks like across projects because right now I have zero visibility on that. Does it break down by project or is it one global number?
Straude
@thenomadcode Thanks for the kind words! It's just one global number for now, but that's a great idea. We'll look into how to show per-project in the future. So were you able to see your monthly token spend by running the straude command?
The end-of-month billing surprise is too real. I've been running Claude Code in parallel on a few projects and had zero idea what I was spending until the invoice hit - it's kind of absurd we don't have native visibility for this.
Strava framing makes sense here. Is the leaderboard purely by USD spent or is there any weighting for output quality? Curious what "winning" looks like on this.
Straude
GH stars and traffic make sense - harder to inflate than raw spend. The calibration will be the tricky part, especially when well-funded projects can drive traffic artificially. But directionally that's a better signal for actual quality.
Awesome timing with this one. The leaderboard is a fun idea for the agent builders out there. Do you have plans to add team-based leaderboards or just keep it individual?
Straude
@sfoscar Got it, thanks for the reply. Good luck with everything!
Straude
So on this leaderboard what gets more weightage I mean does the top ranker has most amount of tokens spent or most amount of output from AI? I mean what is the ranking criteria?
Straude
@nayan_surya98 The leaderboard is sorted by total spend in USD (think: token count x standard API pricing of the models used). We don't get any data on what is produced by the AI other than token stats. But some users use Straude like a work log and share what they did that day / session in the feed. Thx for checking us out!
