About TokenEater
TokenEater is a native macOS menu bar app with widgets that track Claude and OpenAI Codex usage limits in real time. It shows the live five hour session window and the weekly window, so a developer can see how much capacity remains and when it resets, for Claude (Pro, Max or Team) and for Codex with a ChatGPT sign in. Either service alone is enough to use it.
It also tracks additional Claude pools, including Sonnet, Fable and Extra Credits. A Studio lets users build the menu bar display segment by segment or start from a template. A pacing feature compares current usage with a steady pace on the session and weekly windows and labels it chill, on track, watch out or hot, and weekly pacing can follow the user's workweek. Color coding reflects the risk of overshooting before the next reset, and users can choose how cautious the verdicts are.
An Agent Watchers overlay floats over the desktop to show live Claude Code sessions in the terminal or in VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf, with states such as thinking, executing and waiting. Clicking jumps to the right terminal or editor. This overlay works with Claude Code only.
It requires macOS 14 or later and installs from a downloadable DMG or through Homebrew. The source is on GitHub, and the site publishes no pricing.
