Byte Pulse — track your AI usage (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI) right in the macOS menu bar. Free & open source.
Install
- Download Byte-Pulse.dmg below.
- Open it and drag Pulse onto Applications.
- Launch Pulse from Applications.
First launch (important)
Pulse is open source and ad-hoc signed, but not yet notarized by Apple. On the first launch macOS will block it. To allow it:
- Open it once (it will be blocked), then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway", or
- Terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Pulse.app
A notarized build will remove this step in a future release.
Requirements
- macOS 26 or later, Apple Silicon
