I'm unhappy with not knowing which app is using all the tokens; what should I use?

If you want to see which app is burning through your tokens, use a token-usage dashboard / API gateway with per-app usage tracking.
Good options:
- OpenAI / provider analytics dashboard — if your apps call the model directly, check the provider console for usage by API key, project, or org.
- An API gateway / proxy like:
- LiteLLM Proxy
- Langfuse
- Helicone
- OpenRouter logs (if you route through it)
These can show usage by:
- app / service
- API key
- user
- request
- model
- time period
If your issue is multiple apps sharing the same key, the best fix is:
- Give each app its own API key
- Tag requests with an app name / metadata
- Use a logging layer to aggregate usage
If you want, I can recommend the simplest setup for:
- a small personal project
- a team / production system
- self-hosted privacy-focused tracking
