@mcalderon_codes Cool idea! it's there a demo version ?
@mcalderon_codes Oh, i just saw that it has a free version, i think it's a usefull app, good job!
Menu bar usage tracking is one of those things you don't know you want until you've hit a limit mid-task with no warning.
Since this is reading local state rather than an official endpoint, the thing I'd want to know is how it handles being wrong. Local config isn't necessarily authoritative — a session used elsewhere, or a reset that happens server-side, could leave the displayed number out of step with reality. Does it reconcile against anything, or is the assumption that local is close enough? A number in the menu bar carries a lot of implied confidence, so being quietly off would be worse than showing a range.
since this is unofficial and there's no cloud account, I'm guessing it's reading local session/config files or an undocumented local endpoint rather than a published usage API from Anthropic or Cursor. if that's the case, what happens when either of them ships an update that moves or restructures where that data lives - does the tray just go blank, show stale numbers, or is there some way it'd tell you it's out of sync
Nice! Cursor's is particularly hidden by default. You'll know what we're gonna ask... is codex's not as easily reachable?
Menu bar usage tracking with zero cloud dependency is exactly what I wanted. Lived in my status bar all day without fuss.
finally a tiny utility that does exactly what i need, love that it lives in the menu bar and i don't have to dig through the cursor window to check limits anymore.
Honestly love that it just sits in the menu bar and shows my limits without me having to open a tab. The local-first approach is a nice touch too.
