Sleep soundly while
AI works for you.
OpenClawCostTracker is a local web dashboard that monitors your AI spend in real time — and automatically shuts down the OpenClaw Gateway if you hit your budget limit. No runaway costs. No surprises. Total peace of mind.
localhost:5050 — budget limit reached, gateway automatically stopped.
Run AI tasks overnight.
Wake up without a shock.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly budget. The moment your AI spend crosses that limit, OpenClawCostTracker automatically stops the OpenClaw Gateway — cutting off any further API calls before costs spiral out of control.
You can sleep, step away, or just focus on other work. The Kill Switch has your back. When you're ready, restart the gateway in a single click from the dashboard.
Define your budget once — the gateway stops itself automatically when the limit is hit
Get alerted the moment a budget threshold is reached — even while you're away
Resume the gateway from the dashboard whenever you're ready to continue
