Live Context Monitoring

Don't let your agent fall in the dumb zone.

Monitor context live and get warned before it degrades.

Live context fill chart with threshold alarm firing at 40%

Live context fill chart streamed via WebSocket β€” see exactly how fast your agent is burning the window.

Set a % threshold and get an in-browser alert before degradation hits β€” the tab title changes, you can't miss it.

Works alongside cost tracking in every live session. One dashboard, full situational awareness.

The Problem

Your AI Spend Is a Black Box

You're Shipping Blind

How much did that feature cost? That refactor? That entire sprint? You have no idea. Until you do.

AI Is Fast. Your Memory Isn’t.

Shipping with Claude is effortless. But a week later, you have no idea which session contains that feature you built.

You're Burning Money

$32 in bloated context last month. $12 to rebuild something you already had. That’s what happens when sessions aren’t managed.

How Rufus Works

Track Costs. Tag Projects. Bill Accurately.

Questions?

Do you store my prompts or code?
Never. Rufus only sees metadata: tokens used, model, timestamp. Your prompts and code never leave your machine.
Does Rufus slow down my coding?
No. It runs entirely in the background with zero latency. You won't even notice it's there.
How does the free trial work?
You get 7 days of unlimited usage, no credit card required. After that: $29/month or $69/quarter (save $18). No plan, no new sessions tracked.
How accurate are the cost calculations?
Very accurate. We capture usage data directly via OpenTelemetry and apply real-time pricing from Anthropic.
Can I group sessions together?
Yes. Folders let you group sessions however you like: by project, client, sprint, anything. You get aggregated usage and cost at the folder level, not just per session.

Stop Guessing. Start Tracking.

Your AI tools cost money. You should know exactly how much.
