AI Quota Menu Bar
See remaining quota and reset time for all your AI coding subscriptions in one menu bar
- Problem
- Heavy AI coding users subscribe to multiple services with inconsistent, scattered quota rules. One person burns through Claude's limits, starts fresh in Codex with zero context, and has to re-explain the project from scratch. Others keep checking why the Apple subscription costs more than the website and whether top-up resellers are safe. Opaque quota directly causes work interruptions and duplicated effort.
- Solution
- A menu bar app that uses official API keys or local CLI status endpoints to show used quota, remaining quota, and reset countdowns for each AI service in one place, with early warnings before hitting limits. A hotkey copies the current quota summary to the clipboard so users can plan before switching services.
- Users
- Indie developers and small-team tech leads subscribed to two or more AI coding services
- MVP
- Integrate official usage endpoints for 3-5 major services; menu bar ring progress and countdowns; system notifications below threshold; one-click copy of current status summary
- Revenue
- One-time purchase at $9.9-19.9, or $2/month for historical charts and multi-device sync
- Why now
- AI coding subscriptions have entered a multi-service era where quota is a daily bottleneck, yet no cross-service view exists; an indie developer only needs a few APIs and can ship a usable version in a week
