API Bar 0.4.7

First public release. A native macOS menu bar companion for tracking AI provider balances alongside CodexBar.

Providers

  • Vertex AI / Google Cloud — active billing credits and trial grants from the Cloud Console billing GraphQL endpoint.
  • Google AI Studio — live Gemini credits from GetGdpProfileAndBenefits, with project spend-cap fallback.
  • Fireworks AI — prepaid inference balance, including automatic Cognito token refresh.
  • Cerebras — Cloud session validation and platform balance.
  • Crowbot — chat/API credit balance with account pinning.
  • Refuseless — prepaid USD balance read from the console, with the top-up ledger (amount + bonus) as the 100% reference.
  • Custom / any API — add unsupported providers by name or cURL using the on-device Apple Foundation Model.

Highlights

  • Built-in updates — checks GitHub Releases, shows this changelog window, and installs in place. No appcast or extra hosting.
  • Opt-in onboarding — a fresh install starts with no providers selected; nothing is tracked until you choose it.
  • Automatic 100% reference — inferred from the latest payment, top-up, or grant, and editable per provider.
  • Accurate units — money is parsed per provider with explicit unit handling (cents, micro-dollars, and Google's units/nanos) so totals can't be misread by orders of magnitude.
  • Merged or separate icons — one compact gauge with a provider switcher, or one status item per provider.

Privacy

  • Sessions are imported from Brave and stored in the macOS Keychain.
  • Background refresh never prompts for Keychain access.
  • No telemetry, no third-party servers.
  • The test suite runs against a throwaway directory and never reads or deletes your real saved sessions.

Install

  1. Download APIBar-app.zip.
  2. Move API Bar.app to /Applications.
  3. Open it and pick the providers you want.

Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. Ad-hoc signed — right-click → Open on first launch if Gatekeeper objects.
