3 Tiny Mac Utilities That Fixed My Dev Workflow This Month

I spend most of my day in the terminal or an IDE, and over the years I've gotten allergic to anything that wastes screen real estate or breaks my flow. This month I stumbled on three small Mac utilities that actually stuck around in my dock. Sharing in case they help someone else. 1. TokenBar — Know What You're Spending on LLMs If you use GPT-4, Claude, or any API-based model, you've probably been surprised by a bill at least once. TokenBar sits in your menu bar and gives you a real-time token count as you work. You can see input/output tokens, cost estimates, and cumulative usage without leaving your editor. It's $5 lifetime (not a subscription), which is refreshing. I picked it up after a week where I accidentally burned through $40 in API calls debugging a prompt chain. Now I just glance up and know exactly where I stand. 2. Rectangle — Window Management That Just Works This one's free and well-known, but I'm including it because I still meet devs who drag windows around manually. R
