UsageNow monitors usage limits, reset times, and credits for 15+ AI coding tools from the Mac menu bar. It addresses the challenge of tracking multiple tool subscriptions simultaneously, displaying the state of each service without requiring separate logins to each provider’s dashboard.
The menu bar display shows usage percentages, remaining time until usage resets, and credit balances at a glance. Clicking the menu bar icon expands the full view with 30-day activity charts for each connected tool, enabling users to see daily token consumption patterns and cost trends over time.
Cost estimation converts token usage to approximate API pricing using each provider’s published rates, giving a financial perspective on usage patterns. This is particularly useful for comparing consumption across tools with different pricing structures.
Desktop widgets in small and medium sizes provide quick reference without opening the full menu bar panel.
System requirements: macOS 15 or later. Compatible with Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Pricing: Free. Open source under MIT license (version 0.7.2 at time of writing).
Limitations: Requires macOS 15, excluding users on earlier macOS versions. Support for specific AI coding tools may lag behind new tool releases. Cost estimates are approximations based on published API prices and may not reflect enterprise pricing, prepaid credits, or subscription plan rates.
Alternatives: Moxie monitors usage limits for Claude Code specifically with account switching capability. SkillKeeper provides per-session token breakdowns for Claude Code with skill management. Individual AI provider dashboards offer authoritative usage data for single services.
Suitable for developers using multiple AI coding tools who want a unified view of their usage limits and reset times without visiting multiple provider dashboards.
