Your AI coding tokens, hatched into Pokémon

PokeTokenBar turns your AI coding tokens into a Pokémon companion in your macOS menu bar. Start with an egg — spend tokens in Claude Code, Codex & Gemini CLI and it hatches a random Pokémon, evolves through its real evolution line, and graduates to your Pokédex (plus rare shinies ✨). Underneath it's a handy tracker: today's usage, official 5h & weekly limits, and a forecast for hitting them. Runs entirely on-device from your existing logs — nothing is sent anywhere. Free & open source.
Hey everyone 👋
I've been spending a lot of time with AI coding tools lately, and it always felt like a bit of a shame
that all those tokens just ended up as numbers on a dashboard. I figured it'd be more fun if they
actually meant something.
So I built PokeTokenBar — a macOS menu bar app that lets you raise Pokémon from your AI token usage.
You start with an egg. As you spend tokens it hatches into a random Pokémon, and the more you code, the
further it evolves along its real evolution line. Once it reaches its final form, it joins your
Pokédex — and every once in a while, one hatches shiny. ✨
Beyond the game side, it's also a handy AI CLI tracker. It reads your local Claude Code, Codex, and
Gemini CLI logs to show today's token usage, your current 5-hour and weekly limits, and an estimate of
when you'll hit them.
Everything runs locally — it only reads log files already on your machine and never sends any data
anywhere.
Install:
brew install --cask chattymin/tap/poke-token-bar

If there's anything you'd like to see added, I'd love to hear your ideas or feedback!
(English isn't my first language, so I used a translator for this post 🙏)
this is genuinely such a cute idea, love the egg to shiny arc. one thing though - could you add an option to pin a favorite pokemon as your menu bar icon instead of the default? would be cool to see my starter evolve right there in the bar without having to click in
