so-agentbar

What it does

Most Claude Code tools track usage history. so-agentbar monitors what your agents are doing right now. • Real-time session monitoring (CLI & IDE, Xcode) • Instant alerts when an agent needs your approval • Notifications for task completion, errors, and quota • Token & API quota tracking (5-hour & weekly) • Global hotkey to pull up the panel from anywhere • Open projects in VSCode, Cursor, or Terminal • Free & open-source (MIT)

A macOS menu bar app that monitors your active Claude Code and OpenAI Codex CLI agent sessions in real-time.

Track every active Claude Code and OpenAI Codex session from your menu bar — CLI, Xcode, Claude Desktop, and Codex. See tokens, costs, and status at a glance. Automatically detects and tracks all running Claude Code and OpenAI Codex sessions: Claude (CLI, Xcode, Desktop Code, Cowork) and Codex (CLI, VSCode). Sessions spawned via the Agent tool (e.g. SO-ADK pipelines) are folded under their parent with a 🤖×N badge. Click to expand and see each subagent's type, task, and last response on hover. Parent token/cost totals roll up every subagent so you see full pipeline cost at a glance. Each session is labeled by origin (Code, Cowork, Xcode, Codex) so you always know where it's running.

  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…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
