Pulse

Overview of Pulse

What it is

Pulse is a free, open-source macOS monitor that shows how much usage you have left across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and 70+ other AI coding tools. It sits on the edge of your screen and displays every AI coding limit at a glance, without requiring you to open any usage pages.

Key features

• Monitors 76+ AI coding services (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) with color-coded rings that show usage percentages.
• No Pulse account or server required; it uses your existing logins and credentials, and nothing is sent back.
• Real usage percentages from the services themselves; estimates are marked, and if a service reports nothing, Pulse says so instead of guessing.
• Native macOS app built with Swift and SwiftUI, with Liquid Glass on macOS 26. It can be docked on any edge (left, right, top, bottom) and folds to a sliver when idle.
• Menu bar display with a dashboard for each account, burn-rate forecast, and optional animated bots.
• Notifications for limit crossings, resets, failing checks, low balance, and provider outages.
• Token spend tracking for 54 local clients, priced at public API rates, with usage recaps and service status for 44 providers.

Use cases

• Quickly check remaining usage of multiple AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) without opening separate pages.
• Avoid surprise rate limits by monitoring usage in real time.
• Track token spend and costs across different AI coding tools.
• Monitor service status and get notified of outages.
