CLUSTER BAR-CLAUDE-MENU · 44 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-22

macOS AI subscription trackers

This cluster consists of macOS menu bar apps that monitor AI subscription usage and limits for services such as Claude, Codex, Grok, and GPT, alerting users before they hit limits. The dated entry history is too thin to read a shape from—only three dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster predates the index or its members are largely undated. Traction is led by MioIsland (543 stars), followed by brink (53 stars) and reserve (5 stars).

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

JUN 2026OCT 2026

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
