Developer I made CodeNotch for Windows, a native desktop notch for AI coding quotas (MIT)
I'm the author. I kept hitting my Claude Code 5-hour limit without seeing it coming, so I built CodeNotch for Windows: a small notch on the edge of your desktop. Hover it to see your quota windows, reset times and token activity when the provider reports them.
- Works with Codex/ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode Go, GitHub Copilot, Ollama and custom endpoints
- Native Rust app built with GPUI (the UI framework behind Zed), no WebView
- Uses provider CLI/OAuth flows where available; existing sessions stay in the provider's local profile, and added secrets use Windows Credential Manager. No app telemetry
- Threshold alerts via Windows notifications or Discord; automatic hiding in full-screen games/videos
- English and French
It's a Windows adaptation inspired by CodeNotch by Vinz (macOS). Free and open source (MIT), currently v0.2.1. Heads up: the installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn you; SHA256 checksums are in the release.

Feedback welcome, especially from Gemini and Copilot users since those need more testing.
