## Kitsmith's take

Solves a different problem than the activity monitors: instead of showing what an agent is doing, it shows how much of your usage or budget is left — including a live arc of how full your active Claude Code context window is. Local-first and unsandboxed by design so it can read provider data directly.

## Features

- **Claude Code context arc:** A visual arc shows how full your active Claude Code session’s context window is, live, with no token or key needed.
- **Multi-provider tracking:** Claude Code, OpenAI API, Cursor, Codex, Anthropic API, and Google Gemini in one pill.
- **Rate-limit headers:** OAuth token support surfaces real 5-hour and 7-day Claude rate-limit data from Anthropic’s own headers.
- **Budget tracking:** Set monthly budgets for OpenAI and Anthropic org-wide spend using admin-level API keys.
- **Menu bar fallback:** Works on non-notched Macs too, sitting cleanly in the menu bar instead.

## FAQ

**Does TrackNotch need my API keys?**

Claude Code and Cursor usage work via local monitoring without any key; cost tracking for the Anthropic and OpenAI APIs needs an admin-level key, stored in the macOS Keychain.

**Why is TrackNotch unsandboxed?**

It reads provider data from locations like `~/.claude` that are outside the App Sandbox — the tradeoff is documented in the project’s PRIVACY.md rather than hidden.

**Is TrackNotch free?**

Yes — free and open source under the MIT license.
