How to see remaining limits for all your AI coding tools with Pulse

Put one ring per AI coding service on the screen edge and read what is left without opening usage pages.

Credentials. Pulse reads the logins you already have on your Mac to check usage, so only enable services on a Mac you control.

Who it is forA developer who uses Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar tools daily and keeps getting surprised by rate limits mid-task.

The problemEach AI coding service has its own usage page, so checking limits means opening several sites and logging in to each one.

The outcomeEvery monitored service shows its usage as a ring, with the percentage the service itself reported and the reset time for each limit.

What you need first

  • A Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, on Apple Silicon or Intel
  • An existing login for each AI service you want to monitor, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor
  • Permission to open the app past Gatekeeper, since Pulse has no Apple Developer certificate
  • For building from source only: full Xcode with the macOS 26 SDK, not just the Command Line Tools

Steps

  1. Download the latest Pulse-x.y.z.dmg from the Releases page of github.com/qunqin24/Pulse.
  2. Open the disk image and drag Pulse into your Applications folder.
  3. If macOS blocks the first launch, open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway. Or run xattr -cr /Applications/Pulse.app in Terminal.
  4. On first launch, tick the services you want to monitor in the chooser, then click Done. Nothing is checked until you click Done.
  5. Point at a ring to see every limit and its reset on one card.

Prompt for your agent

Install Pulse from https://github.com/qunqin24/Pulse by downloading the latest Pulse-x.y.z.dmg from Releases into <download-folder> and moving Pulse.app to /Applications. Confirm that /Applications/Pulse.app exists and report its version. Verify the app launches and that the service chooser appears on first run.

Caveat. Pulse only reports what each service returns, and services that report nothing are shown as such rather than estimated.
