Track LLM Proxy Usage from Your Mac Menu Bar
Keep LLM Proxy usage visible while you work. AIUsageBar shows your activity and pace alongside the rest of your AI stack, without another dashboard tab.
How LLM Proxy usage limits work
- Routing services can send requests across multiple models and providers, making spend harder to reason about from a single vendor dashboard.
- Costs, rate limits, and availability vary by the selected upstream model.
- A unified menu bar view helps you monitor aggregate activity without repeatedly opening routing dashboards.

Why track LLM Proxy usage from your Mac menu bar?
Usage dashboards are useful after you open them. AIUsageBar is designed for the moments when you are already coding, prompting, or shipping work and need a fast answer: how much have I used, how quickly am I using it, and should I adjust before the next task?
Keeping LLM Proxy visible beside your other providers reduces dashboard switching and makes it easier to manage a mixed AI stack.
Frequently asked questions
Can AIUsageBar track LLM Proxy alongside other AI providers?
Yes. The goal is one ambient view for the AI tools you use, instead of a separate dashboard tab for every provider.
Does LLM Proxy have one fixed usage limit?
Not necessarily. Limits can vary by plan, model, region, workload, or account tier. Use the provider's official documentation for the exact terms attached to your account.
Why use a menu bar tracker for multi-provider usage?
It keeps your current pace visible while you work, so you can react before a quota, allowance, or budget becomes a surprise.
