UsageNowAI coding usage tracker for macOS

Monitor usage, limits, reset times, and token activity across Codex and Claude Code. UsageNow brings your AI coding activity into one clear view on macOS.

What UsageNow shows

UsageNow is a native macOS menu bar app. Click its symbol and a popover shows every provider you track: each limit window, how much of it is left, and when it resets — alongside the tokens and requests recorded on your Mac today and the most recent model. Limits appear exactly as a provider reports them: a 5-hour window, a weekly one, or both. When a value isn’t reported, UsageNow says so instead of inventing it.

Codex

Codex usage limits, reset times, and your plan come from the official Codex app-server, which UsageNow runs locally, so it never reads or copies Codex credentials. Token and request counts come from Codex session files on your Mac. If the app-server can’t be reached, the last recorded limits are shown and marked as stale. Codex documentation.

Claude Code

Claude Code activity — tokens, requests, most recent model — and your plan are read from local session data. Usage limits are experimental and off by default: when you turn them on, UsageNow reads the Claude Code sign-in already in your keychain, keeps the token in memory only, and asks Anthropic for your usage. It never refreshes, modifies, or stores your credentials. Claude Code documentation.

Features

Getting UsageNow

UsageNow is free and open source under the MIT License, and runs on macOS 15 or later. Signed builds aren’t available yet; today you build it from source with Xcode 26 — see the installation guide or the GitHub repository. A command-line tool and more providers are planned.
