Most questions are answered by the setup guide, which walks through installing the app and connecting Claude Code and Codex.
Common questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The app shows no sessions | Send one message in Claude Code or Codex, then click Refresh in the dropdown. In the Mac App Store version, also make sure you clicked Allow for each log folder. |
| The numbers look different from another tool | Cost Doctor counts each reply once and includes subagents. Dollar figures are estimates at list prices, not your bill. |
| How do I stop the red frame? | Click Dismiss on the alert in the dropdown, or turn the frame off in Settings. |
| How do I remove the app? | Quit it from the dropdown and drag it from Applications to the Trash. Its
settings are in the .costdoctor folder in your home folder. |

See it on your own sessions
Cost Doctor is a Mac menu bar app that reads the logs Claude Code and Codex already write. It names the session that is using your tokens, says why, and turns your screen red when a check fails while an agent sits waiting. Nothing leaves your Mac.
