A Mac utility tracks Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor usage live, with reset times and warnings before rate limits hit.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The utility uses a hover-activated screen-edge marker rather than a Dock application or a separate dashboard. It is advertised to detect installed copies of Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor automatically, then show both session and weekly usage percentages with reset times. The beta includes automatic updates and two alerts per reset cycle, at 80% and 95%. A future v1.0 plan lists more tools, custom thresholds, per-tool alerts, and snoozing.
