How to watch every agent's quota at the Mac notch with Agent Hud Open

Build the open-source HUD and see each agent's quota as a colour glow at the notch or a screen edge.

Credentials. The app reads quotas from each vendor with the agent's existing sign-in or configured key, so only run it on a Mac you trust and check which accounts you enable in Settings.

Who it is forA developer running Claude Code, Codex and other agents at once who keeps losing track of how much quota is left.

The problemQuota limits are spread across several agent tools, and checking each one interrupts the work in the editor or terminal.

The outcomeA glow at the notch or on a screen edge that turns green, yellow or red as each quota fills, with the numbers one hover away.

What you need first

  • A Mac running macOS 14 or later
  • Xcode or the Xcode Command Line Tools with a Swift 6 toolchain
  • Git, to clone the repository
  • At least one supported agent installed and signed in, such as Claude Code or Codex

Steps

  1. Run git clone https://github.com/jazzenchen/agent-hud-open.git and then cd agent-hud-open.
  2. Run make check and make test to check the source and run the unit tests.
  3. Run make run to build and open build/Agent HUD Open.app, signed ad-hoc for local use.
  4. Hover over the glow to read each quota's share used and reset countdown.
  5. Open Settings to choose the accounts and quotas to show, and set each display's mode to Simple or Dynamic if you want one logo per agent.

Prompt for your agent

In the agent-hud-open repository, run `make check`, `make test` and `make run`, then report whether build/Agent HUD Open.app opened. Verify that at least one agent quota shows a colour glow, and state which quota it is.

Caveat. Agent HUD finds installed agents by itself, but the quota readings depend on each vendor's data, and some agents such as Hermes Agent report no quota at all.
