A streamlined Windows dashboard and tray utility to monitor AI API usage, costs, and quotas across multiple providers.
Multi-Provider Support: Track usage for Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, OpenCode, Kilo Code, DeepSeek, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Mistral, and more.
Smart Discovery: Automatically scans environment variables, Claude Code credentials, and standard configuration files for existing API keys.

Minimalist Dashboard: A compact, topmost window providing a quick overview of your current spend and token usage.
Compact Settings UI: Streamlined provider cards with 40-50% less vertical space, larger dialog for better visibility.
Dynamic Tray Integration:
Auto-Hide: Dashboard hides automatically when focus is lost.
Individual Tracking: Option to spawn separate tray icons for specific providers.
Live Progress Bars: Tray icons feature "Core Temp" style bars that reflect usage levels in real-time.
Pace Projection & Badges: See at a glance whether you'll exhaust your quota before it resets.
Headroom (green) — projected usage under 70%, plenty of room left.
On pace (green) — projected 70–100%, healthy usage rate.
Over pace (red) — projected over 100%, on track to hit the limit before reset.
Shows the projected end-of-period percentage (e.g. "Projected: 73%") so you can judge for yourself.
Works independently for both 5-hour burst and 7-day rolling windows.
Can be toggled on/off in Settings → Cards → "Pace-Aware Colours".
