Key Features
- Displays current usage limits in the menu bar: Claude shows 5-hour, 7-day, Extra, 7-day Opus, and 7-day Sonnet limits when available.
- Codex (optional) shows 5-hour, 7-day, and Extra Usage credits side by side with Claude.
- Built-in browser login for Claude — no manual cookie/session digging required.
- Multiple Claude accounts and organizations supported, plus separate Codex account switching.
- Notifications at 90% usage and on usage reset.

Technical Details
Built primarily with Claude Code as the coding partner, handling SwiftUI work, refactors, localization passes, and edge cases around refresh state. The app is open source and independent — not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI.
Who It's For
Developers using both Claude and Codex who need a quick, local usage overview without leaving the menu bar.
