OffScript — AI Consumption Tracker for Knowledge Workers
A weekly dashboard that shows exactly how many hours you spent inside ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Copilot — and helps you reclaim evenings, weekends, and parenting time from the AI arms race.
Tech-knowledge workers and parents in high-income jobs feeling AI-driven pressure
- Unified usage view across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and Perplexity via extensions and screen-time APIs
- "Off-script hours" — protected windows where AI tools are blocked and a real activity is suggested
- Weekly reflection prompt like "what did you do this week that wasn't for productivity?"
- Partner mode so a spouse can see your reclaimed hours and keep you honest
The Never Enough essay captured a real cultural moment — Silicon Valley parents outsourcing parenting to chase AI mastery, founders using Claude to grade their own dates — and the backlash is starting to drive demand for AI-consumption limits.
Cultural moment is real (Never Enough essay on daily.dev/HN) but existing trackers like TokenKarma (12k+ Chrome extension users) and Claude Tuner already serve the power-user demand; the 'reclaim parenting time' angle is narrower than the 'hit rate limits' pain that drives current adoption.Never Enough - daily.dev ↗tokenkarma AI usage tracker ↗
Clear gap: TokenKarma/Claude Tuner/AI Toolbox all frame around rate limits, messages, and API spend — none position around evenings, weekends, or parenting. Aegis AI and blissio.ai do AI-aware screen time but from generic phone screen-time angle, not AI-tool-specific wellness.Aegis AI: Screen Time Controls on the App Store ↗Claude Tuner - Real-Time Usage Tracker ↗
TokenKarma proves a paid model works for AI-stack tracking (7-day trial, B2B waitlist), but the 'wellness for burned-out parents' ICP historically under-pays vs. B2B developer tooling; wellness apps typically convert at lower rates than productivity tools.tokenkarma pricing/positioning ↗
AI usage will grow, but threat surface is high: providers are adding native usage views (ChatGPT Wrapped, Claude usage page), OS-level screen-time APIs already exist, and the cultural 'AI backlash' framing may fade as AI becomes ambient. Tracking becomes harder as usage decentralizes to agents.
Doable — TokenKarma shipped a 6-provider Mac app + web dashboard; AI Usage Tracker Chrome extension also exists. Cross-provider scraping is the main friction plus privacy/credential handling concerns users may balk at.GitHub - omnitrack-ai unified usage tracker ↗tokenkarma AI usage tracker ↗
