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.

Measuring the limit against the clock is the right framing. A good share of my Claude Code usage comes from headless claude -p jobs started by cron, not from an open terminal. Do those runs show up in Sessions and count toward the pace forecast too?
@jindrich_regal Thanks! Good news on both:
Pace forecast: yes. The limits come straight from your Anthropic account, so every run counts, including headless claude -p jobs from cron, even ones on other machines.
Sessions: yes, as long as the run writes a transcript, which claude -p does by default (unless you pass --no-session-persistence). Finished runs show up in Sessions with their tokens and cost, and they count toward Today and your burn report too.
Two notes: Burnstate reads the default Claude config folders (~/.claude and ~/.config/claude), so if your cron jobs use a custom CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, those logs won't be picked up. And Sessions shows the last 24 hours, so a very busy cron can crowd the list. If that's your setup, we'd love to hear how you'd want those runs grouped.
Putting the elapsed window beside the usage percentage makes the number easier to interpret. Seeing the remaining time and current pace together would help someone decide whether to start another long task.
@oleksii_sekundant Exactly the decision we had in mind! Every limit in Burnstate shows how long until it resets, how far ahead or behind the clock you are (like "22% ahead"), and, when you're burning fast, roughly when you'd run out. So before a long task you can tell at a glance whether this window will hold or it's better to wait for the reset. Thanks for the kind words 🙏
