- Worth noticing
- The page says Claude usage is polled once a minute, while Codex limits are read from local session logs every 15 seconds.
Field notes
The page says Notchy polls Anthropic’s usage endpoint once per minute and the desktop session list every 30 seconds; for Codex, it reads local session logs every 15 seconds. Hooks are optional and add tool names plus the instant a permission prompt appears. The maker says the web installer is not yet code-signed, and a Microsoft Store release is still forthcoming; the described license covers up to three PCs and all 1.x updates.
