NOTCHY LIMIT — Watch Your Limits

What it does

Notchy lives in your MacBook notch and shows your Claude session % and weekly quota in real time. Alerts at 25, 50, 75, and 90%. 100% local, zero telemetry, MIT licensed. Built in Swift for power users who hate getting blindsided.

NOTCHY turns your MacBook

Track Claude, Codex, Gemini and 5 more providers, live in your Mac's notch or menu bar. The real app, running in a MacBook notch. Hover expands it; it collapses back out of your way. All eight in a single pill. Claude, Codex and Gemini need no API key, they ride the login your CLI already stored. Homebrew is the fast path. DMG and source are there if you want them. Recommended. The cask handles the Gatekeeper prompt for you, no right-click needed. No Homebrew needed. On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open to clear the unsigned-app warning. Full steps in the README . For builders and auditors. Build instructions in the README . Every line of source is open. Not for the big…from notchylimit.com

  Hey all! Like many of you, I've been using Claude daily and kept having a hidden fear: when my limit will be reached? How much I have consumed in this session? Im ending up going back and forth to settings > usage to check Literally every 5mns So I built ClaudeUsageBar, a minimal menu bar app that shows your Claude usage percentage at a glance. What it does: Shows your current session (5-hour) and weekly usage directly in the menu bar Notifies you at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% thresholds so you can pace yourself Displays exactly when your limits reset Works with both Free and Pro plans Privacy…

  I kept hitting Claude's 5-hour limit without realizing it, so I made this menu bar app to track it. Shows a color-coded ring (green/orange/red) and countdown to reset. Built it in Swift/SwiftUI, just for myself initially. Right now you have to manually grab your sessionKey from browser DevTools, which is annoying but works. Stores it in macOS Keychain so it's secure. Been actively working on it, already at v1.3.0 with much better UX now. It's open source (MIT) and works with all Claude platforms (web/CLI/desktop/mobile) since they share the quota. Currently…

  Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs2025 · github.com · ▲245

  I kept slamming into Claude Code limits mid-session and couldn’t find a quick way to see how close I was getting, so I hacked together a tiny local tracker. Streams your prompt + completion usage in real time Predicts whether you’ll hit the cap before the session ends Runs 100 % locally (no auth, no server) Presets for Pro, Max × 5, Max × 20 — tweak a JSON if your plan’s different GitHub: https://github.com/Maciek-roboblog/Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor It’s already spared me a few “why did my run just stop?” moments, but it’s still rough around the edges. Feedback, bug…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
