Claude Code, Codex & Cursor limits, paced in your menu bar
22 followers
Burnstate is a native Mac menu bar app for people who code with AI. It shows your Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Vercel AI Gateway limits, marks how much of each window has passed, and tells you when you'd run out at your current pace. Answer Claude Code permission prompts and questions from a card, see every session's tokens and cost, take breaks that count only time away, and share a year of usage as a link. No account, no analytics.

Codex by OpenAIAI that writes code for you
5.0 (31 reviews)
We use Codex alongside Claude Code, and switching between them is exactly why we built Burnstate: two tools, two sets of 5-hour and weekly windows, and no single place to see both. Burnstate puts Codex's limits in the menu bar, paced against the clock, and keeps the CLI up to date with one click.

CursorMost of Burnstate was built in Claude Code, and Burnstate exists because of it. We kept running out of the 5-hour window mid-task, so we built a menu bar app that paces the limit against the clock. Claude Code's hooks made the best part possible: answering its permission prompts and questions from a card.

Claude CodeCursor is one of the editors we code in every day, and one of the first providers Burnstate tracked. Its included usage resets on the billing cycle, not in hours, so seeing how fast you burn through it mid-month matters even more. Burnstate shows it next to Claude Code and Codex, with Cursor's own cost numbers.
