Common questions
Is TokenBar safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.5.3) reached the registry 21 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.
What can I use instead?

Install
The computer collects the numbers. Phones and watches only show what it sends over Wi-Fi, so always start there.
| Device | How | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer | Mac (macOS 15+) | `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChaconLucas/tokenbar/main/scripts/install-mac.sh \ | sh` |
| Mac via Homebrew | brew install --cask chaconlucas/tokenbar/tokenbar | ||
| Windows 10/11 | TokenBar-Windows-setup.exe from Releases. SmartScreen warns? More info → Run anyway | ||
| Windows via winget | winget install ChaconLucas.TokenBar (pending Microsoft review) | ||
| Linux | build from source, see Build from source | ||
| Phone & watch | iPhone (iOS 17+) | on a Mac with Xcode, iPhone plugged in: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChaconLucas/tokenbar/main/scripts/install-ios.sh \ | sh. Add -s -- --auto after sh` and the Mac renews and updates it by itself |
| Apple Watch (watchOS 10+) | comes with the iPhone app: iPhone → Watch app → TokenBar → Install | ||
| Android 8+ | TokenBar-Android.apk from Releases (allow "install unknown apps") | ||
| Wear OS 3+ | TokenBar-WearOS.apk from Releases, installed with adb (steps) | ||

| Raycast | from source: cd raycast && npm install && npm run dev (details) | ||
| Stream Deck | TokenBar-StreamDeck.streamDeckPlugin from Releases, double-click it (details) | ||
| Plugins | Claude Code: claude plugin marketplace add ChaconLucas/tokenbar && claude plugin install tokenbar@tokenbar. Codex and Gemini CLI: Plugins (MCP server, /tokenbar, warning at 80%) | ||
| CLI + MCP | `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChaconLucas/tokenbar/main/scripts/install-cli.sh \ | sh (Node 18+). Claude Desktop: TokenBar.mcpb from Releases, double-click it. Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini, Goose…: [Install in your AI](docs/api.md#install-in-your-ai) (one click, or --add-to `) |
Updates: Mac, Windows and Android show an update button inside the app. The iPhone (and its watch app) updates by running install-ios.sh again, or automatically with --auto. VS Code updates through the Marketplace.
Mac blocked it ("can't be opened", "unidentified developer", "is damaged")?
TokenBar isn't notarized by Apple yet (that needs a paid developer account), so macOS blocks the first launch when the app comes from a browser. Any of these fixes it:
- Install with the command above. Downloaded from Terminal, the warning doesn't appear.
- Allow it once: try to open TokenBar → System Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll down → Open Anyway → your Mac password.
- "Is damaged"? In Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TokenBar.appand open it again.
The prompt *"TokenBar wants to use confidential information stored in Claude Code-credentials"* isn't a block: it's the login reading (VS Code panel). Choose Always Allow.
Or ask your AI. Open Claude Code, Codex or any AI with a terminal and say:
Read https://github.com/ChaconLucas/tokenbar/blob/main/INSTALL.md and install TokenBar for me.
INSTALL.md is written for the AI: it asks which devices you have, runs the commands, and only asks for your hands when needed (a permission, the phone, the watch).
What it does
Mac
- An LED device window (bigger, smaller or full screen) and a floating Mini that stays on top of everything, full-screen apps included.
- MOSTRAR A % (show the %): BARRA (little LED bars with the % in the menu bar), NOTCH (a black pill around the camera, hover to open) or OS DOIS (both).
- Clicking the menu bar opens a summary with glass buttons (*liquid glass* on macOS 26): device, Mini, Ajustes (settings), refresh, quit.
- Widgets (small, medium, large) and Control Center controls (macOS 26): TokenBar, Claude, Codex, floating and device.
- Ajustes in four tabs: GERAL (language, what to show, colors), IAS (AIs), APARELHOS (phones and watches), SERVIDOR (local API, webhook, server). A Primeiros passos (getting started) guide connects everything step by step.
Windows and Linux — the same LED device, the floating Mini, a 12-dot ring in the system tray and the getting-started guide (app in desktop/, built with Tauri).
iPhone
- Opens in landscape, full screen, screen always on: a desk clock for your limits.
- Widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen (presets plus a custom one; "one at a time" switches AI on tap).
- Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (on iPhones that have one), with buttons to switch AI and window.
- Built-in QR scanner (ESCANEAR QR) to pair with the computer, and a notice when an update is out or the free-account app is about to expire.
Apple Watch — app (TODOS / CLAUDE / CODEX, 5H / 7D, or turn the Digital Crown), watch-face complications, and a Smart Stack card (the Live Activity on watchOS 11+, plus widgets that rise when a limit is close or about to reset).
Android and Wear OS — phone in landscape with a home-screen widget, alerts and in-app updates. The Wear OS watch works with or without the phone: alone, type the 6-digit code from the computer (Mac: Ajustes → APARELHOS → WEAR OS SEM CELULAR). Complications on the watch face. Huawei without Google services: the QR scan doesn't work, paste the link instead.
AIs
- Claude Code through the terminal statusline (one click: CONECTAR in Ajustes → IAS), or through its login when you use the VS Code panel.
- Codex: automatic, from the terminal, VS Code or the Codex app.
- GitHub Copilot: opt-in (monthly premium requests, via
gh auth token). - Windsurf: automatic.
- Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro: opt-in, using the login each one already saved (Gemini: Workspace / Code Assist accounts only).
- GLM (Z.ai), MiniMax, Kimi Code, OpenRouter, Factory Droid, Amp: paste an API key in Settings → AIs (Mac: stored in the Keychain).
- Any other AI through a small JSON file: docs/providers.md.
Everything else
- Languages: Portuguese and English, with an AUTO / PT / EN switch (AUTO follows the system).
- Windows: 5 hours, 7 days, or both on the same screen. The background fills with usage: 23% lights 23% of the display.
- Alerts when a window passes 80% and 95% and when it resets (the iPhone mirrors them to the watch).
- Customization: a color per AI, text and timer colors, color by usage, red from 85%, round or square dots, brightness.
API & developers
- Local API while the app runs (Mac, Windows, Linux):
http://localhost:41777/v1/usage, localhost only; real port in~/.tokenbar/api.json. - CLI
tokenbar: bars in the terminal,tokenbar --promptfor the shell prompt or tmux,tokenbar get claude 5hfor scripts. Works without the app too. - MCP server
tokenbar-mcp: Claude Code, Codex or Cursor callcheck_budgetbefore a long task. - Webhooks at 80% / 95% / reset (Slack and Discord get a sentence; anything else gets the JSON).

- The computer collects. Claude Code only hands its limits to the *statusline*; TokenBar installs a small script (
~/.tokenbar/claude-tee.sh) that saves a copy and runs the statusline you already had, unchanged (with a backup ofsettings.json). Codex writes its limits into~/.codex/sessions. - It advertises on the local network (
_tokenbar._tcp) and only answers devices holding the pairing key. - Phones find it on their own on the same W
