tokenkick 1.0.1

Local CLI for tracking AI coding quota windows, planning reset coverage, and optional explicit provider-native kicks.

TokenKick

Reset? Go.

TokenKick is a local CLI for developers juggling multiple AI coding accounts. It tracks quota reset windows, shows which account needs attention next, and can optionally send a tiny provider request to anchor a newly reset window.

Quick Start

pipx install tokenkick
tk

The native Mac app is a beta desktop surface for the same local runtime. When available, beta DMGs are attached to GitHub Releases. The CLI is the recommended install path for first-time users; non-notarized beta DMGs may show a macOS security warning.

On first run, tk opens the TUI and starts with setup when no accounts are saved yet. Setup discovers accounts and saves them with auto-kick off by default. If you later enable auto-kick for a provider, TokenKick shows a provider-specific risk notice and requires you to type ENABLE before saving the acknowledgment. Interactive setup also offers notifications, daemon start, and short schedule/Codex strategy info.

For a manual CLI setup:

tk setup
tk status --refresh
tk auto enable "<label>"
tk notify --ntfy tokenkick-yourname
tk daemon --background

Auto-kick sends minimal provider requests automatically on a schedule. Provider terms and any account consequences are your responsibility; use it only if you accept that risk.

For scripts and automation, use explicit commands:

tk status
tk status --refresh
tk remote telegram --background
tk plan --work-window 18:30-23:30 --json-output
tk history --verbose
tk doctor

Provider Support

Codex and Claude are kickable in this release. Gemini and Antigravity are monitor-only. Other providers are unsupported until their status shape and safe kick behavior are verified.

TokenKick does not increase quota, bypass limits, or evade provider restrictions. It helps you notice and act on quota windows you already have.

Codex-Spark is detected as a separate Codex quota bucket when the provider exposes it. TokenKick then shows it as a sibling account such as codex-spark (...) with its own session/weekly window. It does not infer Spark access from your subscription tier. tk plan skips Spark until you set an explicit usable_session_minutes for that account, because the rough placeholder is not enough evidence for orchestration decisions.

Disclaimer

TokenKick is an independent, open-source project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any other provider. "Codex", "ChatGPT", "Claude", and "Gemini" are trademarks of their respective owners, used here only to describe compatibility.

TokenKick does not increase your quota, bypass rate limits, or evade any provider restriction. It helps you track your own reset windows and, optionally, send a minimal request through a provider's official CLI to anchor a window you have already paid for.

Automated or scheduled kicking may violate a provider's Terms of Service. Some providers restrict automated or scripted access to their consumer products. Enabling auto-kick is your decision and your responsibility. You alone are responsible for how you use TokenKick with your accounts and for complying with each provider's terms. Use at your own risk.
