- It supports Codex and Claude without requiring a separate Petal account; OpenRouter support is listed as beta.
Field notes
Petal presents each connected account as a colored slice in the Mac menu bar, with remaining percentage and reset timing available at a glance. The page says Codex and Claude use browser sign-in, while OpenRouter requires an API key and remains in beta. It targets macOS 14 or later across Apple silicon and Intel, and describes local usage checks without a separate Petal account.
