What it solves

ClaudeBar solves the problem of fragmented usage tracking for AI coding assistants. Instead of checking multiple different dashboards or CLI tools, users can monitor their remaining quotas for various AI providers in a single, centralized macOS menu bar application.

How it works

The app acts as a monitoring layer that interfaces with various AI provider CLI tools and APIs. It uses a layered architecture where a QuotaMonitor serves as the single source of truth, utilizing "probes" to fetch data from providers like Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and Grok. It then displays this data via color-coded progress bars (green for healthy, yellow for warning, red for critical) directly in the macOS menu bar.

Who it’s for

It is designed for developers on macOS 15+ who use multiple AI coding assistants and want a real-time, at-a-glance view of their session, weekly, or model-specific usage limits.

Highlights

• Multi-Provider Support: Tracks quotas for a wide range of services including Claude, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Grok, and more.
• Visual Status Indicators: Uses a traffic-light system (Green/Yellow/Red/Gray) to signal quota health.
• Customizable Appearance: Supports Light, Dark, CLI, and Christmas themes, and allows importing .itermcolors terminal themes.
• System Integration: Provides system notifications for quota warnings and supports keyboard shortcuts for quick dashboard access and refreshing.
