I got tired of hitting AI rate limits mid-task, so I built a macOS menu bar monitor for it

If you use more than one AI tool daily — Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot — you've probably hit this: You're in the middle of a deep coding session. Flow state. Everything clicking. Then: "You've reached your usage limit." No warning. No countdown. Just a wall. The worst part isn't the limit itself. It's that you had no idea it was coming. You could have paced yourself, switched providers, or front-loaded the heavy work. But the information wasn't there.

You're expected to check each dashboard separately, remember reset times, and somehow mentally track where you stand across all of them. For devs who use 3-4 of these tools daily, it's a real workflow problem. What I Built
