I built TokenBar because AI bills got stupid fast

I kept getting surprised by how fast Claude and Cursor usage could turn into real money.

So I built TokenBar, a tiny macOS menu bar app that shows live AI token usage while you work.

It is not trying to be a dashboard or another analytics rabbit hole. It is just a quick way to see what your AI tools are actually costing you before the monthly bill lands.

If you use Claude, Cursor, or any other token-heavy workflow and you want a simple guardrail, TokenBar is $5 lifetime:

Would love feedback from people who are actually watching their AI spend.
