Overview / Description
NOTCHY LIMIT is an AI usage tracking tool for macOS that shows your AI session and weekly quota limits live in your MacBook's notch or menu bar, so you can see how much you have left before you hit a wall. It tracks Claude, Codex, Gemini, and five more providers — OpenAI, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, ElevenLabs, and Perplexity — displaying all eight in a single Dynamic Island-style pill that stays minimal until you hover, then expands into session usage, weekly quota, and a reset countdown. For Claude, Codex, and Gemini you need no API key: NOTCHY auto-detects the login your official CLI already stored. The other five providers take a key you enter once, which is kept in your macOS Keychain and only ever sent to that provider. Smart in-app banners fire at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% usage without requiring system notification permissions. The app is native Swift, local-first with zero telemetry, MIT licensed, and free forever. On a notched MacBook it lives in the notch; on any other Mac it sits in the menu bar, and you can run both. Installation is a single Homebrew command (brew install --cask I-N-SILVA/notchy/notchy), with a DMG and full source on GitHub for builders and auditors. NOTCHY LIMIT suits AI power users and developers who juggle multiple AI subscriptions and want to avoid getting blindsided by rate limits.
Used For
