The AI coding signal I watch before restarting a session

One thing I keep noticing with AI coding: the session usually gets expensive before it feels broken.

It starts with a few pasted logs, a retry loop, an old file that keeps riding along, or staying on a bigger model after the hard part is already solved. The output still looks fine, but the context is getting heavier every prompt.

I built a macOS menu bar token meter for AI work

I kept noticing that AI spend gets harder to control once a chat is already bloated with stale context, retries, and oversized model choices.

So I built TokenBar: a tiny macOS menu bar app that shows live token usage while you work, not after the bill arrives.

Built MetricSync because calorie tracking apps kept feeling like admin work

I've been building MetricSync as a solo dev because I kept seeing the same issue: people do not quit nutrition tracking because they hate the goal. They quit because the logging loop gets annoying or stops feeling trustworthy.

The current bet is simple:

  • cheaper than CalAI

  • 3 day free trial

  • focused on faster logging and easier corrections

  • trying to make AI nutrition tracking feel useful after week one, not just magical on day one

I'd genuinely love feedback from anyone who has tried CalAI, MyFitnessPal, or Cronometer.
