ModelDeck

One menu bar icon that always knows how much Claude Code and Codex you have left.

A native macOS menu bar app + local daemon that tracks usage limits across all of your Claude Code and Codex CLI accounts — live "% left" meters, reset countdowns, and optional account switching.

Local-first. No cloud backend. No telemetry. Your provider credentials are never copied, stored, or transmitted by ModelDeck. The only secrets ModelDeck creates are its own local Keychain items — the token that guards the daemon's API and, if you use the managed proxy, a client key per profile — and they contain nothing of yours. The only optional outbound calls of ModelDeck's own are the daily update check (reads this repository's public releases feed) and the update download you approve (fetches the release asset) — update checks are off unless you enable them.

Why

If you run AI coding agents seriously, you probably don't have one account — you have a work Claude Max plan, a personal Pro plan, a Codex subscription, maybe a spare for side projects. Each one has its own 5-hour session window, weekly limit, and model-scoped caps, all resetting on different clocks.

Today the only way to know where you stand is to interrupt what you're doing and check each account by hand — usually right after an agent run dies mid-task because a limit you forgot about ran out.

ModelDeck puts all of it in your menu bar:

• See every limit at once. Every account, every window (5-hour session, weekly, model-scoped like "Weekly · Fable"), as a live "% left" meter with its next reset time.
• Get warned before you hit the wall. The menu bar icon shows a gold percentage when any account drops below your threshold, red when critical, and a macOS notification fires exactly once at the crossing — no nagging.
• Account switching is offered when you add a second login — with one login per provider, ModelDeck never touches that provider’s home folder.
