About AI Usage Ball
AI Usage Ball is a macOS menu bar and desktop application that tracks and displays real-time usage limits for Claude, Codex/ChatGPT, and Antigravity. It reads usage data directly from local sessions on the user’s Mac and presents it as floating liquid gauges showing remaining quota and reset timers. The app avoids provider dashboards and logins by sourcing data locally, refreshing automatically while the user works. It supports session, weekly, and reset-credit tracking for each supported AI tool, allowing developers to monitor their allowances without interrupting workflow. The interface remains visible either as a floating orb on the desktop or as a compact menu bar item, updating continuously to reflect current usage levels. No data is transmitted to external servers beyond the providers’ own endpoints, ensuring privacy. The application is designed for developers who rely on multiple AI services and need to avoid unexpected interruptions due to usage limits.
