Stop Typing Terminal Commands to Track Your AI Tokens
ccusage is a fast CLI tool, but why hide your token burn rate in a terminal window? Notchyprovides a beautiful, native, always-on animated dashboard directly in your Mac's notch — tracking Claude Code and local Codex usage without typing a single command.
Why upgrade from a CLI to Notchy?
- Always visible, zero effort
With ccusage, you have to actively run `npx ccusage` every time you want to see your spending. Notchy sits in your dynamic island, giving you real-time count-ups and shimmer animations as your AI agents run. You literally just glance up.
- Real rate-limits & holistic tracking
Notchy not only tracks your Claude Code transcript logs locally, but it handles real Codex rate-limit tracking. You see your actual limits and usage combined into a single, beautiful sunburst visualization.
- Native UI & Battery Efficiency
CLI tools are fast, but running node processes isn't always ideal. Notchy is built purely in SwiftUI. The AI usage tracker sips less than 0.1% CPU in the background while polling your local `.claude` logs.
