Open-source macOS menu-notch widget showing live Claude token spend — an always-on burn meter.

Pick this when

You want spend visibility without running /usage — macOS only.

What makes it different

Passive cost awareness: the meter sits in the notch while agents work

What it does

Displays running token/cost totals on macOS

What it does not do

Common wrong expectations

Doesn't exist for Windows yet — 'vibe-codeable' per the trainer

Where it sits in a stack

The ambient half of the cost-discipline habit (/usage is the active half).

Shelf

Productivity & source apps

Our status · not-using

Paul is on Windows; the in-app usage screen covers the need.

For your projects

A Windows port is a plausible small build if ambient burn display becomes wanted.
