I built a $5 menu bar app that shows your live AI token usage while you work

I kept getting surprised by Claude/Cursor usage, so I built TokenBar.

TokenBar lives in the macOS menu bar and tracks AI token usage live, so you can see cost creep before it gets ugly.

It is a simple lifetime purchase, $5.

If you are paying for AI tools and want a quick sanity check on usage, it might save you from the monthly shock.

    Hey, great product! Are you going to build the same for Windows?

    This makes a lot of sense. Cost awareness usually matters more when it happens in the moment, not at the end of the month, so the menu bar format feels like a very natural fit.
