Stop Cluttering Your Menu Bar. Use Your Notch Instead.
CCSeva is a decent menu bar app, but your Mac's menu bar is already crowded with icons you never click. Notchy transforms your dead notch space into a beautiful, animated live dashboard for tracking Claude Code and Codex usage — natively, and for free.
Why switch from CCSeva to Notchy?
- Better Screen Real Estate
Menu bar apps often get hidden on smaller MacBooks (like the Air) because of the notch. Notchy solves this by using the notch itself. Your AI token burn and limits are elegantly displayed right where your eyes naturally rest.
- Gorgeous Visuals & Sunburst Charts
Instead of tiny menu bar text, Notchy provides a full animated sunburst visualization of your token limits, live count-ups, and a shimmer effect that activates whenever your AI agent is actively processing.
- The Ultimate All-in-One Utility
Why install a single-purpose AI tracker? Notchy gives you AI usage tracking, clipboard history, Pomodoro timers, Now Playing media controls, and file shelves all in one incredibly optimized, 0.1% CPU app.
