Stop Logging into the OpenAI Dashboard

Why Notchy is the ultimate OpenAI tracker

Smart Pace Projections
Notchy's usage engine predicts if your current quota will last until reset, warning you before you hit a rate limit.
Supports 60+ Providers, Not Just OpenAI
Most trackers only support one API. Notchy tracks OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, Perplexity, Gemini, and 60+ other providers seamlessly. All your AI spending is centralized in one beautiful, native UI.
Animated Sunburst Visuals
Instead of dry numbers on a web page, you get a gorgeous, animated sunburst chart that actively shimmers and counts up as your AI agents make API calls.
Always Visible System-Wide
Whether you're in Xcode, VS Code, or a terminal, your Mac's notch is always visible. Your token limits and current usage are surfaced natively in the Dynamic Island without interrupting your workflow.
