Stop Squinting at a Cluttered Menu Bar Dropdown
CodexBar crams usage data for 15+ different providers into a tiny menu bar. It's functional, but easily lost among your other icons. Notchyelevates your AI usage tracking by turning your Mac's physical notch into a stunning, native, animated dashboard.
Why upgrade from CodexBar to Notchy?
- A Superior Visual Experience
Instead of scanning through a long list of text in a menu bar dropdown, Notchy uses a gorgeous, animated sunburst chart. You get live count-ups and shimmer effects exactly when your AI models are processing.
- Visible Without Clicking
Menu bar apps require you to click them to see detailed stats. Notchy's dynamic island intelligently surfaces your real-time Claude Code and Codex rate limits the moment you need them, without a single click.
- More Than Just AI Tracking
Notchy replaces your entire suite of menu bar utilities. Along with AI token tracking, you get a native clipboard history manager, a Pomodoro focus timer, file drop shelves, and media controls—all running natively in SwiftUI with 0.1% CPU overhead.
