Claude and Codex limits, music, a shelf for your files and a few other handy things, living in your Mac's notch.

What's inside

The things I kept opening other apps for, all in one place.

Limits Rings spin while an account is working and turn amber, then red, as you get close to a limit.

Quick questions Ask Claude or Codex from the notch, or press ⇧⌘9 from anywhere.

Volume and brightness A slim bar grows out of the notch when you change either.

Screenshots New screenshots land in TempSpace, ready to drag wherever you need them.

Now playing See what's on and skip tracks without leaving what you're doing.

Peeks Deploys, builds, low battery or anything you script drops down from the notch for a moment.

Edit mode Move, hide and add tabs and buttons right inside the notch.

Limits

Your Claude and Codex limits, always in view

Every account Finds each Claude Code profile and Codex home on your Mac and gives it a ring.
5-hour and weekly windows Shows both with their reset times, turns amber at 60% and red at 80%, and gives you a heads-up at 80% and 95%.
Working indicator Rings spin while an agent works and a sound plays when it's done, so you can look away.

Questions, probably

Another notch app? Really?

Yep, there are plenty and some of them are great, but none had everything I kept switching apps for: AI limits, quick questions, a shelf for files and notifications from my own scripts. Hence the name.

Can I download it?

Not yet, it's a personal project for now and this page is just a look at it.

Which Macs does it run on?

MacBooks with a notch, on Apple silicon and macOS 26.

Does it read my Claude or Codex sign-in?

It reads your usage the same way Claude Code and Codex do, on your own Mac, and never logs, saves or sends your tokens anywhere or touches another tool's sign-in.

Will it slow my Mac down?

Nope, nothing runs while nothing changes, and the rings only move while an account is actually working.

Why violet?

Green was taken, and you can change it anyway.

yes, another one
