CLUSTER CLAUDE-CODEX-NOTCH · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-19
AI coding usage in Mac notch
Cluster of macOS utilities that display AI coding assistant usage (Claude, Codex, Grok, Cursor) in the menu bar notch. Dated history is too thin to read a shape from—cluster predates the index or members are undated. Traction leader is TokenNotch (18 stars), followed by Headroom (2) and notchmeter (1).
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.
