Hey everyone! I am a solo developer who has been deep in the AI tools world for the past couple years. I use Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and a handful of APIs daily for my work.
One month I looked at my credit card statement and realized I had spent $340 on AI tools without noticing. Every provider has its own dashboard, its own billing page, its own way of showing usage. I never checked any of them regularly because who has time to log into 5+ dashboards every week?
So I built TokenBar. It is a native macOS menu bar app that pulls your usage, credits, and billing data from 20+ AI providers into one glanceable spot. Think of it like your battery indicator but for AI spending. Built with Swift, runs entirely on your Mac, no cloud accounts or data leaving your machine.
It has been a journey getting it to market as a solo dev. The building part was fun. The marketing part... still figuring that out. Would love to connect with other makers here who are building developer tools or utilities.
I pay for Claude Pro, ChatGPT Plus, Cursor, and hit various APIs on top of that. One month I checked and realized I'd burned through $340 on AI tools without noticing. Each provider has its own dashboard and I never checked any of them regularly.
So I built TokenBar. It sits in your macOS menu bar and shows your token usage, credits, and resets across 20+ AI providers in one place: OpenAI, Anthropic/Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, OpenRouter, Vertex AI, and more.
Hey everyone! Wanted to share what's new with TokenBar.
We just shipped a major update that adds support for 20+ AI providers including OpenAI, Claude/Anthropic, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenRouter, and Vertex AI. You can now see all your AI spending in one glance from your Mac menu bar.
