About AIUsageBar

AIUsageBar is a lightweight macOS application that monitors usage limits, reset timers and monthly spend for 47+ AI tools directly from the menu bar. It supports providers such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek and Windsurf, displaying live session and weekly usage percentages alongside remaining capacity and reset countdowns. The tool provides real-time alerts at 75% and 90% usage thresholds to prevent interruptions, and tracks actual spend across all connected providers rather than relying on manual checks. Setup requires no API keys or configuration files, connecting tools in seconds through a guided process. The native Swift app is designed to be unobtrusive, consuming minimal system resources while remaining always accessible. A free tier supports basic Claude tracking, while the paid version unlocks full multi-provider monitoring, spend tracking and smart notifications across two Macs with a one-time purchase and 30-day refund policy.
