If you build with LLMs every day, token usage turns into background noise until the bill shows up.
I wanted one thing: live visibility without opening another dashboard.
So I built TokenBar.
It sits in the macOS menu bar and shows LLM token usage in real time.
The goal is simple:
- see usage while you work
- spot expensive prompts earlier
- keep cost visible for AI builder workflows
TokenBar is $5 lifetime: https://tokenbar.site/
Still early, so I am watching how people actually use it and where cost visibility breaks down.
If you build with AI every day, what would you want visible all the time?
