The demo shows a Mac screen. Beside the notch sits a small ring and the 5-hour limit, 42%. Opened, the notch lists three limits with their reset times: 5-hour, weekly, and Fable weekly. As usage climbs, the number turns amber at 75% and red at 90%, and a notification appears at each step.

Good questions.Short answers.
The things people ask before they buy.
How much does it cost?
$9, paid once. There is no subscription, and one license works on up to 3 of your Macs.
What does AI Usage Notch show?
Your 5-hour limit sits beside the notch all the time, as a small ring and a percentage. Move your cursor over the notch and it opens to show the 5-hour and weekly limits, plus the Fable weekly limit if your account has one, each with the time it resets.
Do I need to set anything up?
No. It reads the Claude Code login that is already on your Mac. If Claude Code is signed in with your Claude plan, the numbers appear. If that login ever expires, run Claude Code once and it picks up again.
What does it do with my Claude login?
One thing: it asks Anthropic for your usage numbers. The login stays on your Mac and is never sent anywhere else. Your license key is checked with Dodo Payments, our payment provider.
Will it warn me before I run out?
Yes. You get a notification at 75% and again at 90% of your 5-hour and weekly limits, and one more when a limit that got that high resets. The number in the notch also turns amber at 75% and red at 90%.
How fresh are the numbers?
It checks every 5 minutes, and the open panel tells you how long ago the last check was. To check right away, right-click the notch and choose Check Now.
My Mac has no notch. Does it still work?
Yes. On a Mac or screen without a notch, the app draws a small one at the top centre of the screen and works the same way.
Does it get in the way?
No. There is no window and no menu bar icon. It steps aside while an app or video is full screen, and comes back after.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
Yes, one license key works on up to 3 Macs. To move it to a different Mac, right-click the notch on a Mac you no longer use, choose Deactivate on This Mac, then enter the key on the new one.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with macOS 14 or later.
