CLUSTER BAR-CODING-MENU-2 · 22 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-06-23
macOS AI token usage trackers
This cluster consists of macOS menu bar apps that monitor token usage, spending, and quotas for AI coding assistants, storing records locally and displaying metrics and trends. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only two dated entries exist before the index start; it predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, vibebar leads with 29 stars, followed by token-usage-monitor with 11 and SplashMonitor with 9.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 2 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
- 21TokenStats0★1 mo—macOS app that tracks and displays token usage for multiple AI coding tools, with historical import and cloud sync.
- 22shot23★8 mostale—ai-builthobbyMenu bar app that compresses screenshots into smaller image files before they are pasted into AI chat tools, reducing token cost.
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.
