AgentQuota HUD

Always-visible quota and approval requests for AI coding agents on the Mac notch or edge

Problem

When running Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents in parallel, you have to switch windows constantly to see which quota is running out and which agent is waiting for your approval. Developers report this breaks flow and that quota warnings come too late, causing rate-limit surprises at critical moments.

Solution

A tiny always-on Mac menu bar/notch app that aggregates quota usage, reset times, burn rate, and balance across agents, and surfaces pending approval requests with the command and file diff so you can approve or deny in one click. It alerts before quota runs out based on burn-rate projection.

Users

Indie developers and small-team engineers running two or more AI coding agents

MVP

Connect 3-5 mainstream agents via quota APIs or log parsing; notch/menu-bar ring indicator; floating pending-approval cards; 90% threshold and burn-rate projection alerts; one-click approve/deny

Revenue

Free tier for 2 agents; Pro one-time purchase or annual subscription for unlimited agents and advanced alerts

Why now

Coding agents are exploding but each has its own quota and rate limit; parallel agents are the norm; official vendors won't build cross-agent aggregation, so a lightweight Mac client is ideal for an indie dev
