# AI use cases for Agent Hud Native Open (jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open) Repo: [jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open](https://github.com/jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open) | Use cases: 4 | Page: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/jazzenchen-agent-hud-native-open/ Agent HUD's native Swift app for macOS, which shows usage, quotas, tokens and sessions for Claude Code, Codex and 16 more coding agents at the Mac's notch or a screen edge. This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL. - Watch agent quotas from the screen edge while you work: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/jazzenchen-agent-hud-native-open/glance-at-agent-quotas-while-working/ - Answer agent approvals and questions from the HUD: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/jazzenchen-agent-hud-native-open/answer-agent-approvals-without-switching-windows/ - Review 30 days of token spend by agent and model: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/jazzenchen-agent-hud-native-open/review-token-spend-by-agent-and-model/ - Preview the HUD with sample data before adding agents: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/jazzenchen-agent-hud-native-open/try-the-hud-with-sample-data/ ## How to watch agent quotas from the screen edge while you work with Agent Hud Native Open Repo: [jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open](https://github.com/jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README Keep each quota's green, yellow or red glow in view and hover for the reset countdown. **Who it is for:** A developer running Claude Code or Codex all day who keeps switching apps and needs to know how much quota is left without opening each agent. **The problem:** Quota limits are easy to hit unexpectedly, and checking each agent's usage page breaks focus. **The outcome:** A glow at the notch or on a screen edge shows each quota's level, and a hover shows the share used and reset countdown. ### Steps 1. Clone the repository with `git clone https://github.com/jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open.git` 2. Enter the folder with `cd agent-hud-native-open` 3. Run `make check` and then `make test` to confirm the build and tests pass 4. Run `make run` to build and open the app 5. In Settings, choose the accounts and quotas to show, then hover the glow to read the numbers ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Clone jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open, run make check, make test and make run on the Mac, then report whether build/Agent HUD Open.app opened and which quotas appear for . Verify that the report lists a share used and a reset time for at least one quota. ``` ### Caveat Quotas for Copilot need your consent in Settings and Codex approvals need its hook trusted in Codex, so some readings stay blank until you set those up.

Complete the build steps: `git clone https://github.com/jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open.git`, then `make run` 2. Confirm the agent's hooks were written, which Agent HUD does on your Mac 3. When an agent asks, read the command, file or diff on the HUD 4. Choose Deny, Allow once or Always allow, or pick an option for a question 5. If you need the context, click the session title or Return to session ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text In the agent-hud-native-open repository, start the app with make run and trigger an approval in . Report the request text shown on the HUD and the buttons offered. Verify that answering on the HUD lets the agent continue. ``` ### Caveat Agent HUD does not answer for you, so a request you ignore returns to the agent's own prompt after 10 minutes, and Always allow applies the agent's rule going forward.

Build and open the app with `make run` 2. Let your agents run so the app collects token history, which is kept for 30 days on your Mac 3. Open the statistics window and choose a time range of 5 hours, 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days 4. Switch to the by agent and model view and narrow the chart to the models and token kinds you need 5. Open a session to see tokens per turn and how full the context window got ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Use agent-hud-native-open on this Mac after make run to open the statistics window and read the 30 day token totals for each agent. Report the top three models by tokens and their estimated cost. Verify that costs marked with the approximate symbol are noted as estimates. ``` ### Caveat Costs are priced at API prices where a model has one and are only an estimate on a subscription, not a charge.

Clone the repository with `git clone https://github.com/jazzenchen/agent-hud-native-open.git` 2. Enter the folder with `cd agent-hud-native-open` 3. Run `make build` to build the locally signed app 4. Quit the app if it is open, then run `make demo` 5. Switch between the Notch, Simple and Dynamic modes in Settings to compare them ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text In the agent-hud-native-open repository, run make demo and report the three display modes available in Settings. Verify that the app shows sample data and that no real agent account is read. ``` ### Caveat The demo needs the Xcode toolchain to build, so a non-developer will need someone to set that up before a copy and paste run works.
