What is Usage Meter?
Every AI coding limit, on the edge of your screen. Free, for Windows 10 and 11.
Usage Meter (listed on Product Hunt as "AI Usage Tracker") is a free, open-source utility for Windows 10 and 11 that keeps every AI coding tool's usage limit visible at a glance. It lives as a slim pill on the edge of your screen: each tool gets a ring showing its main usage limit, shifting from green to yellow, orange and red as usage climbs, and blinking past 90%.
Hovering expands a panel with every limit window, remaining percentage, credits left and reset time for each tool. The pill can be dragged along the screen edge or snapped to the left, top or right, and it remembers its position. It auto-discovers tools you are already signed into on the machine, so there is nothing to configure; settings let you show, hide, reorder and size the capsule from 70% to 160%.
It is privacy-first by design: tokens are read only from your own local profile folders and sent only to each tool's own service - nothing is stored and the app has no server of its own. The whole application is a single open-source PowerShell script under the MIT license. One caveat from the maker: it uses undocumented usage APIs, so providers may change them; when numbers look off, trust the provider's own usage page.
Supported tools include Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Freebuff and Antigravity.

Common questions
Usage Meter FAQs
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. The site marks it V1.0 / FREE and the code is MIT licensed.
What platforms does it support?
Windows 10 and 11 only. There is no macOS, iOS, Android or web version (a Mac-only sibling called Codenotch inspired it).
How do I install it?
Download the zip or clone the GitHub repo, unzip, and run Install.cmd - the maker says it takes about a minute.
Is it safe to give it access to my accounts?
Your logins stay yours. Tokens are read from your own local profile folder and sent only to each tool's own service. Usage Meter never stores them and has no server of its own.
How accurate are the numbers?
It reads usage through undocumented provider APIs, which suppliers may change. If a number looks wrong, check the provider's own usage page and open an issue on GitHub.
