“I wanted a native, minimal menu bar app to monitor my Claude usage. Something not vibe-coded or overengineered. After trying several, I settled on this one. It's fast, simple, and does exactly what it should without unnecessary features. Definitely worth the purchase.”

“I was losing track of my Claude usage every single day. I'd be deep in a project, hit the rate limit, and just sit there waiting with no idea when it would reset. SessionWatcher changed that completely. Now I just glance at my menu bar and know exactly where I stand.”

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need this? Can't I just check usage manually?
You can, but you won't. Checking means stopping your work, opening a browser or CLI, and looking up usage mid-flow. SessionWatcher makes it a glance, not a task.
How do I get started?
Buy a license from $2.99, download the app, and it works immediately. No subscription, no account, no recurring fees.
Does it work with Codex specifically?
Yes. SessionWatcher monitors Codex usage, rate-limit pace, token usage, costs, and reset timing.
Does it read my Codex prompts or code?
No. SessionWatcher only reads local usage statistics. It does not upload prompts, conversations, code, or project files.
How is this different from manually checking usage?
Manual checks interrupt the run. SessionWatcher keeps the useful numbers visible in the macOS menu bar.
Can it help me decide when to switch tools?
Yes. The bundle can show BestToolNow recommendations when one tool is closer to its limit than another.
Is it a subscription?
No. Codex monitoring is a $2.99 one-time purchase.
What Macs does it support?
SessionWatcher works on macOS 14+ (Sonoma and later), both Apple Silicon and Intel. The app is signed and notarized by Apple.
What if I'm not happy?
Email contact@soren-starck.com within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. No questions asked.

Your last interruption cost you 1-3 hours.
