I built TokenBar because AI usage is invisible until the bill lands.
If you use Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any token-based workflow all day, the real pain is not the price per token. It is the slow leak. A few prompts here, a few retries there, and suddenly your "cheap" workflow is burning real money.
TokenBar is a tiny macOS menu bar app that shows your live token usage so you can:
- see what each task is actually costing
- catch runaway prompts before they get expensive
- compare tools and workflows in real time
- make smarter decisions without opening another dashboard
It is a $5 lifetime app. No subscription. No account required.
I built it for people who are already paying for AI and want to keep that spend honest.
If that sounds useful, the site is here: https://tokenbar.site
