Why use Notchy to track DeepSeek?

  • Smart Pace Projections

    Say goodbye to dry web console numbers. Notchy visualizes your token limits via an animated sunburst chart that actively counts up and shimmers as your models process data.

    Notchy polls your API limits in the background with near-zero CPU footprint (~0.1%). Your tokens are tracked silently and surfaced precisely when you glance at your notch.
