I built a $5 macOS menu bar app that tracks AI token usage live

#ai

TokenBar is a tiny macOS menu bar app that shows your live AI token usage while you work.

I made it because I was tired of finding out about Claude/Cursor bills after the fact. TokenBar keeps the number in your face in real time, so you can actually notice when a session is getting expensive.

It is a $5 lifetime app. Built for people who use AI tools all day and want a simple way to stay aware of spend.

If anyone here is tracking AI costs manually, I would love feedback on what would make this genuinely useful.
