:aisubsusage-menubar:Throw together menu bar app for tracking AI usage

GitHubtrgnn/AISubsUsage-MenuBar: macOS menu bar app showing Claude, ChatGPT…
November 4, 2026

Raycast released something similar just a few days later, but it doesn’t have multi-account or Figma support. Plus, you can’t display multiple items at once, though I suppose you can see your Raycast credits if you care about that. 🤷‍♂️

Just a small utility I vibe-coded for myself. It's on GitHub in case it's useful to someone else.

Even though I initially didn’t think I needed such a utility, my enterprise subscription, my increased reliance on AI for more things, and the general pressure to subscribe, especially the very limited Figma credit envelop, changed my mind. I started to feel the need for a quick overview of my usage to balance my work. Not having everything at a glance was starting to get frustrating: usage information isn’t clearly displayed in the respective clients, even though they’ve improved slightly over time. Each has its own limits and settings page, so I kept digging around just to see whether I had enough left for a long task.

I quickly threw it together in OpenCode, just to see, and it hasn't left my menu bar since. So with a bit more polish, here's a shareable version. I don't think it's that useful for anyone else to install: we're at a point in software where, if you vaguely know what to do, you can just build a custom solution that fits your specific needs. But yeah, I was really surprised not to find any basic solution that just displays limits without adding unnecessary features that feel half-baked.
