Solo dev building a Mac menu bar app to track AI spending. Happy to be here!

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.

Check it out at tokenbar.site if you are curious. Always happy to get feedback from the PH community.
