Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A native macOS menu-bar app that tracks Codex and Claude Code quotas, reset times, reading age, and background agent processes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-19 issue.
For
Mac developers running Codex or Claude Code
Worth noticing
Claude’s history is rebuilt from local transcripts, while Codex publishes its own history.

Field notes

The app distinguishes stale, substituted, and inferred quota readings instead of presenting every number as current. Its documentation describes separate data paths: Codex supplies its own history, while Claude history is reconstructed from transcripts stored on the Mac. A larger window covers 7-, 30-, and 90-day views, and the process inspector lists agent background trees before cleanup.
