ai-token-monitor vs quotio
Menu-bar/tray app for macOS and Windows that reads Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode session logs and shows live token spend — per-model pricing with cache reads, plan-limit bars, webhook alerts. — versus — Native macOS menu-bar front-end for CLIProxyAPI: pool your Claude, Codex, Qwen and Copilot accounts behind one local proxy with live quota bars, auto-failover and one-click CLI wiring.
Two menu-bar readouts measuring opposite sides of the same budget. ai-token-monitor parses Claude Code/Codex/OpenCode session logs for tokens actually spent; Quotio reads provider quota for what is left — and unlike the monitor, it can act on it by rotating accounts.

ai-token-monitor — the curator's take
Zero-setup observability for the coding-agent bill: no API keys, no proxy — it prices the session logs your CLIs already write (cache reads included) and puts today's spend next to the clock, with live 5-hour-session and weekly plan bars that ping Discord/Slack/Telegram before you hit the wall. Offline by default; the leaderboard and chat are strictly opt-in. NOT enforcement or routing — it measures, it doesn't reduce; pair it with a gateway or harness caching fixes when the number scares you. macOS/Windows only, and note the repo currently ships no license file.
quotio — the curator's take
This is the macOS GUI that CLIProxyAPI never had. Quotio installs and supervises the proxy, adds accounts by OAuth or API key across Claude, Codex, Qwen, Vertex AI, iFlow, Antigravity, Kiro and Copilot, rotates between them round-robin or fill-first when one cools down, and rewrites the configs of Claude Code, Codex CLI, Amp, OpenCode and Droid to point at localhost. The menu-bar quota bars are the real product — you see the limit coming before it stops you mid-task, and standalone quota mode works without running the proxy at all. NOT for Linux or headless servers: it needs macOS 14+, and Cursor and Trae are quota-monitored only, never proxied through it.
