Claude Code, Codex & Cursor limits, paced in your menu bar

Burnstate is a native Mac menu bar app for people who code with AI. It shows your Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Vercel AI Gateway limits, marks how much of each window has passed, and tells you when you'd run out at your current pace. Answer Claude Code permission prompts and questions from a card, see every session's tokens and cost, take breaks that count only time away, and share a year of usage as a link. No account, no analytics.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
We're Serhii and Yozhef. We code with Claude Code and Codex all day, and kept hitting the same wall: the 5-hour limit runs out in the middle of a task, and you only find out when it's already gone.
The usage page didn't help. "60% used" sounds fine, unless only an hour of the window has passed. What we wanted to know was simple: at this pace, do I make it to the reset?
So we built Burnstate, a native Mac menu bar app that measures every AI coding limit against the clock.
What it does
- ⏱ Pace, not just percent. Every meter has a white tick for how much of the window has passed. Fill ahead of the tick means you're burning faster than the clock, and Burnstate tells you when you'd run dry.
- 🧰 All your tools in one place. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Vercel AI Gateway, side by side. It uses the logins already on your Mac.
- 💬 Answer Claude Code from a card. Permission prompts and multiple-choice questions land in a card over whatever you're doing. Allow, deny or pick an answer without switching to the terminal.
- 🔔 A tap on the shoulder. Cards when a turn finishes, a session needs you or a limit is about to run out. They never steal focus.
- 📊 Every session, live. What's working, what's waiting on you, and what each session cost, from your local logs.
- 🌙 Cooldown. Reminders to take a break, eat and stop for the day. A break counts only time you're actually away, and your agents keep working while you're gone.
- 🔥 Burn report. Your year of AI coding on one page, shared as a link. The numbers live inside the link itself, so nothing is uploaded.
Privacy
No account, no analytics, no Burnstate server. The app talks to each provider directly with your own logins, and your transcripts stay on your Mac.
Availability
Burnstate needs macOS 26.5 Tahoe or later. It's available as a direct download with a one-time license from $12, updates included. It's coming to Setapp and the Mac App Store soon.
We'd love your feedback:
- Which provider should we add next?
- What does your limit look like on a bad day? Do you pace yourself or push until the wall?
We'll be here all day answering questions. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
