●●SolidSolve My ProblemCozy

Native menu bar widget aggregating four AI usage APIs without Electron bloat.

Strengths
  • •Respects OS conventions with Keychain, DPAPI, and Secret Service for credentials.
  • •Cross-platform native UI differs per OS instead of generic Electron wrapper.
  • •Aggregates fragmented subscription limits into one unified always-visible desktop dashboard.
Weaknesses
  • •Relies on unofficial APIs that could break if providers change endpoints.
  • •No mobile companion app for checking limits away from the desk.

Post Description

Hi HN, new account but long-time reader. I built this for myself because I kept manually checking usage across Claude, Codex, and Copilot, and wanted to track the session and weekly usage all in one place.

It's helping me better track and get the most out of my AI subscriptions. It's also a good testament to agentic coding making it easy to create useful tools that wouldn't have been worth the time before, or to build more complete utilities instead of bare-minimum solutions.

Putting it out there in case anyone else finds it useful. Happy to take feedback.
