history
Project history and usage
OpenUsage is an open-source native macOS menu-bar application for monitoring quotas, credits, and estimated spending across AI coding services.
Project history
OpenUsage is a free and open-source macOS usage tracker maintained by Robin Ebers. The current implementation is a native Swift and SwiftUI application with shared provider logic for the graphical app and command-line interface.
The project publishes signed, notarized universal macOS releases from its GitHub repository and requires macOS 15 or later.
Adoption history
OpenUsage supports installation from a signed macOS disk image or through Homebrew Cask. It also updates itself through Sparkle.
Its provider coverage grew into a common dashboard for several AI coding subscriptions, including Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Devin, OpenCode, OpenRouter, Grok, Z.ai, and Google's Antigravity environment.
How it is used
Install the cask and open the menu-bar application. OpenUsage normally reuses credentials already held by supported provider applications; OpenRouter and Z.ai instead require API keys entered through OpenUsage's provider setup.
Use the openusage command for stable JSON output or query the loopback-only API at 127.0.0.1:6736/v1/limits. Proxy routing is configured in ~/.openusage/config.json.
Credential storage varies by provider across system keychains, provider authentication files, and application state. Because there is no single official credential-file location, the credential location is left null.
Why package nerds care
OpenUsage reflects a newer package-management concern: AI coding subscriptions have separate rolling windows, credits, and spend models that developers increasingly want to observe like local system resources.
Its native menu-bar interface, one-shot command-line JSON output, and loopback HTTP API allow the same normalized quota data to serve humans, shell scripts, status bars, and local automation.
Timeline
- 2026: The project published an active series of 0.x releases with signed macOS artifacts.
- 2026: OpenUsage added machine-readable limits through a one-shot CLI and local HTTP API.
Related projects
- Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Devin, OpenCode, OpenRouter, Grok, Z.ai, and Antigravity are supported data providers rather than bundled dependencies.
- Sparkle supplies the application's self-update mechanism.

Install behavior
- No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
- No Homebrew bottle metadata was recorded.
Recommended review
Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
