Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a small macOS menu bar app that shows my AI coding usage at a glance, especially for Codex and Claude Code.

I want to see how much I’ve used, when the current limit resets, and a simple visual indicator in the menu bar so I don’t have to open each service and guess. It should feel lightweight, with no Dock icon, and the main view should just be a clean popover with usage bars, reset countdowns, and any important status warnings.

It should reuse whatever sign in info I already have on my Mac, like browser sessions, CLI sessions, API keys, or local files, so I’m not creating new passwords or logging in again.

If it makes sense, include a way to add more providers later, and a compact mode that shows one icon for everything. Look up current docs online if you need to, and make it work nicely on macOS 14 and newer.

Are you gonna build this?
