Developer launches macOS menu bar tool to monitor quotas across major AI services

On 2026-11-07, a developer posted on V2EX that remaining quotas for Cursor, Grok Bot, Codex and Kimi are scattered across their respective pages, so they wrote a small utility that lives in the macOS menu bar, reads the accounts already signed in on that machine, and lets you see at a glance how much is left. The percentage shown in the menu bar is the remaining quota: below 40% it turns orange, and below 15% it turns red. Opening the popover shows the reset time for each window. As for how it reads each provider, Cursor and Grok Bot read the local Cursor sign-in, and on first launch it asks Keychain for "Cursor Safe Storage", with Always Allow as the option to pick; Codex reads ~/.codex/auth.json; Kimi prefers a Kimi Code sign-in that has not yet expired, and otherwise falls back to the key already saved by the desktop app. The tool does not refresh these sign-ins, and it does not store an extra copy of any token. Installation is done from the repository at https://github.com/QinGeneral/ai-quota-bar by running git clone https://github.com/QinGeneral/ai-quota-bar, then cd ai-quota-bar and make install. A zip named QuotaBar-macos can also be downloaded from GitHub Actions, and the build is ad hoc signed. The original post is cut off at that point, and no further reports have followed.
