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).
