macOS AI usage dashboards

This cluster consists of macOS menu bar dashboards that track token usage, cost, and plan limits for AI coding agents and assistants. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—there are no entries before the index start, so the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. Among the traction leaders are ai-usage-bar with 5 stars, and AgentUsage and AgentMonitor each with 2 stars.

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.
