Codenotch Codenotch
Codenotch is a macOS app that pins a small black notch to a screen edge and draws one ring per coding assistant's usage limit — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, GLM, Grok and others — so you can see how much of a five-hour or weekly window you have burned without running /usage. Hover a ring for its limit windows and reset times; the ring's shape shows whether the agent is still working, done, or waiting on your input.
Frequent releases in September 2026 (v1.15.0 on Sep 19 and v1.16.0 on Sep 20, 2026); the repo passed 2,100 GitHub stars with 30 contributors about two weeks after its first commit and is listed on several Claude Code tool directories.
As of
- One ring per assistant for 9+ providers (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, Copilot, GLM, Grok, Ollama Cloud, LM Studio)
- Claude Code numbers come from the same /usage endpoint the CLI itself reports, so app and CLI never disagree
- Reads local sessions only: Cursor's SQLite state store, Codex rollout logs, Claude Code's OAuth token
- Ring doubles as an activity light: working, done, or waiting on you
- Signed, notarized DMG with EdDSA-signed Sparkle auto-updates
- Rust/Tauri 2 Windows port with the same design and providers
Developers juggling two or more agent subscriptions with session or weekly rate limits who want ambient, always-visible headroom instead of discovering the wall by hitting it.
Linux users (no native build), teams that need centralized or multi-user usage reporting, or anyone who wants a full cost/token analytics dashboard rather than a limit gauge.
MIT-licensed and free. Official builds ship as a signed, notarized macOS DMG (universal binary, macOS 15+) with Sparkle auto-update; a Rust/Tauri 2 Windows installer lives in the same repo. No account or subscription of its own — it reads the coding-assistant sessions already on your machine.
A small, well-executed utility that solves one real annoyance for multi-agent users — knowing your remaining quota at a glance — and does it without asking for credentials; it is macOS-first and young, so expect the provider list and Windows port to keep moving.
