README

LimitBar

**How much of your AI coding limits you've used — in the macOS menu bar.** One glance for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini (Google Antigravity) and Grok Build; hover for the 5-hour and weekly windows and when they reset.

Native and light. A Swift menu bar app, no Electron, no background browser. It asks each CLI only when that CLI has been used, so an idle Mac spends ~nothing.
Never touches your credentials. LimitBar asks the official CLIs you already use. It never reads, stores or sends a token, cookie or password — sign-in stays inside each CLI.
Only what you have. CLIs you don't have installed stay out of the menu bar.

Install

Paste this into your AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok…):

Install LimitBar by following https://github.com/dancik/limitbar/blob/main/INSTALL.md

Or run it yourself in Terminal:

d="$(mktemp -d)" && curl -fsSLo "$d/install.sh" https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dancik/limitbar/831be887b637875199b19e14a91b721b44048dd1/install.sh && bash "$d/install.sh"

The link is pinned to one commit, so the script you run is exactly the one you can read [here](https://github.com/dancik/limitbar/blob/831be887b637875199b19e14a91b721b44048dd1/install.sh). It downloads the release build, checks its SHA-256 against the digest written into that script, checks GitHub's build provenance when the [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com) is installed and signed in, and copies `LimitBar.app` to `/Applications`, where Spotlight and Launchpad find it. Any admin account can write there without a password, the same as a drag-and-drop install; on a standard account it goes to `~/Applications` instead. No `sudo`, nothing outside `LimitBar.app`, `~/Applications` and `~/Library/Caches/limitbar`.

`/Applications` is shared by every account on the Mac, and any admin account can replace an app there without a password — that is true of every app insta
