🐾 How It Works Tokchi reads your AI CLI's local log files and converts token consumption into real-time activity. When your AI is working hard, your pet eats. When you step away, it gets hungry. Fall asleep at the keyboard long enough and your pet dozes off too.
Tokens flow in → pet plays eating animation Big token burst (10+/sec) → pet enters gorging mode No activity for 5 minutes → pet gets hungry No activity for 30 minutes → pet falls asleep
✨ Features
5 Unlockable Characters
| ⚡ Robot | 🦴 Bichon | 🐟 Cat | 🌿 Koala | 🐹 Hamster | 🦫 Capybara |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default | Unlock at 10K tokens | Unlock at 50K tokens | Unlock at 100K tokens | Unlock at 200K tokens | Unlock at 500K tokens |
Each character has 7 unique animations and their own dialogue. The robot talks about data streams and CPU temps. The cat is aggressively unimpressed. The koala is just trying to nap.

💾 Your Data
All data is stored locally in ~/.tokchi/ — one set of files per provider. No servers. No accounts. No tracking. Tokchi only reads your local AI CLI log files — it never sends anything anywhere.
Made for developers who spend too much time with AI and not enough time with virtual pets.
