TrackNotch is a native macOS app that shows Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, and Codex usage right in your notch. Context arc, budget tracking, rate limits and all local. No proxies, no telemetry, nothing leaves your machine. Free and open-source.
Built this because I kept losing track of where I was in a Claude session mid-task. Ended up building a notch-wing pill that shows context fill, rate limits, and monthly spend across 5 providers without any backend or telemetry.
v1.1.1 is out now. Still unsigned (Gatekeeper workaround in the README), notarization is next. MIT, free, open-source.
If you hit a bug or want a provider added — open an issue, happy to ship fast.
The local-only processing is the right call for an API key-adjacent tool. Anything that proxies or phones home with usage data is a non-starter for a lot of developers. One thing I'm curious about: how does TrackNotch get read access to the token counts? Is it reading from the local provider SDKs' log files, intercepting at the network layer, or pulling from the official usage APIs on a poll interval? The answer affects both accuracy and whether it works for team accounts vs. individual API keys.
Wow, interesting, will check this out, I was looking for something like this. Does it support gemini/codex too ?
the budget tracking piece is interesting for teams but right now it sounds personal use only. is there any plan for shared visibility, like if a small team wanted to track aggregate spend across multiple machines without everyone having to check their own notch individually. or is keeping it single machine intentional because the moment you add sync you have to make privacy tradeoffs you've explicitly avoided
That is really good.
Does it track calude code/antigravity costs or usage
