CLUSTER DEEPSEEK-BALANCE-USAGE · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-19

DeepSeek API usage desktop widgets

The cluster consists of desktop apps and widgets that monitor DeepSeek API usage, displaying balance, token consumption, costs, and daily trends while keeping API credentials local. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. The traction leader is DeepSeek-Balance-Whale-Widget with 1729 stars, followed by DeepSeek-Whale-widget-desktop (40 stars) and dsh-deepseek-usage (10 stars).

Entry timeline

ENTRY TIMELINE

AUG 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.
