A Claude token counter, no API key required
July 6, 2026
Simon Willison's Claude token counter is great, but it wants an API key. I built my own for this site that doesn't. Paste text or drop an image, and it counts tokens, then shows cost and how much of the context window you're eating. No key, no paste, no waiting. https://www.jakelawrence.xyz/blog/claude-token-counter
Loved Simon Willison's Claude token counter, so I built mine with one change: no API key to paste. Counts tokens in text and images, shows cost and context-window usage. https://www.jakelawrence.xyz/blog/claude-token-counter
