TokenBar (Aura Technologies LLC) is a macOS menu bar app that keeps AI usage, credits, and reset timing visible without opening each vendor dashboard. ($5/month Basic, or $15 lifetime Pro)
The menu bar surface is meant to be glanceable: current usage, remaining credits, and when a window resets for the providers you connect. The public site lists OpenAI (including Codex), Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and Cursor, plus additional tools people run alongside those. Alerts flag jumps in usage while the session is still running.
This directory entry is the product sold at tokenbar.site. Other Mac apps also use the TokenBar name, including a separate Mac App Store listing; those are not this product and should not be used as an install path for Aura’s app.
System requirements: Native macOS app, Apple Silicon and Intel. Direct download from tokenbar.site. Confirm the current OS minimum on the site.
Pricing: Basic $5/month. Pro $15 lifetime (one Mac). Sold by Aura Technologies LLC.
Limitations: Coverage depends on each provider’s usage API and on which plan is purchased. Browser chats that never go through a connected integration are not captured. Pricing and provider lists change; check tokenbar.site before buying. Local-first does not mean zero network use — provider APIs and licensing still go online.
Alternatives: CodexBar (free, open-source, 60+ AI coding providers, menu bar + CLI). Provider billing dashboards (accurate, not ambient). OpenCode Stats (free, OpenCode-only, local SQLite).
Suitable for users who already pay for several AI tools and want one menu bar check for usage and resets, and who are buying the Aura Technologies app rather than a same-named App Store utility.
