Close the Terminal. Track AI Tokens in Your Notch.
Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor requires you to keep a dedicated terminal dashboard open to see your token burn. Notchyreclaims your screen space by putting a live, animated AI usage dashboard right inside your Mac's physical notch.
Why use Notchy instead of a terminal monitor?
- Zero Wasted Screen Space
Terminal dashboards take up valuable window space that could be used for your IDE or browser. Notchy lives in the dead space of your MacBook's notch, turning a hardware limitation into a fully functional HUD.
- Animated Visualizations
Instead of scanning rows of ASCII text in a terminal, Notchy provides a stunning, hardware-accelerated sunburst chart. It actively shimmers and counts up seamlessly as your AI agents chew through context.
- Seamless Background Polling
Notchy polls your `.claude` logs and reads actual Codex rate limits in the background with negligible CPU footprint (under ~0.1%). You get real-time truth without needing a node script hijacking a terminal tab.
