I built a live token meter for Claude Code and Cursor

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

Why I built it:

  • I was tired of finding out too late that Claude or Cursor had burned way more than I expected
  • I wanted a simple, always-visible counter instead of digging through logs
  • I wanted a $5 lifetime tool, not another subscription

It tracks live usage in the menu bar and stays local to your Mac.

If you use Claude Code or Cursor and care about costs, I would love feedback from people who actually feel this pain.
