v0.1.0-tray

Windows system-tray widget for ai-usagebar (Claude/GPT/GLM/OpenRouter/DeepSeek usage).

Anthropic panel

Download

ai-usagebar-tray-win-x64.zip - unzip and run ai-usagebar-tray.exe. Self-contained (no .NET install needed). Bundles the Rust backend (ai-usagebar.exe).

Hotfix

  • Rebuilt the bundle from main after 002c576.
  • Fixed a Windows tray issue where clicking Refresh now while OpenAI/Codex was still fetching could spawn a second backend process and show openai: cache lock timeout after 45s.
  • Added a backend process timeout so a stuck ai-usagebar.exe child process is cleaned up instead of leaving the tray in loading... indefinitely.

Setup

Populate credentials for at least one vendor, e.g. Anthropic at %USERPROFILE%\.claude\.credentials.json (run claude once), or OpenAI/Codex at %USERPROFILE%\.codex\auth.json (run codex login once), then launch the tray. Right-click the tray icon to pick a vendor.

Screenshots

Tray icon shows the primary usage %, with a hover tooltip:

Notes

  • Binaries cross-compiled (Rust x86_64-pc-windows-gnu + .NET self-contained).
  • Tray shows the primary usage %; left-click for the detail panel.
