AI Usage Tracker 0.8.4
A new app icon, a menu bar panel that opens under its icon on every screen with clearer buttons, and on a Mac a switch to keep the app out of the Dock.
What's new
- A new icon. The app has a new icon on every system: a usage dial whose needle is the AI sparkle, and whose blue arc is the share of your limit already used. On a Mac, when the menu bar shows the app icon instead of a percentage, it is now a plain mark that follows the menu bar's light or dark look.
- Colors to match. The app's grays now lean slightly blue in both light and dark mode, and charts use the icon's blue. Buttons still follow your system's accent color on Windows and macOS.
- Keep the app out of the Dock (macOS). Turn off Settings → Show in the Dock and the app leaves the Dock and the ⌘Tab list. Open it from its menu bar icon or the widget shortcut. Your open windows stay open when you switch it.
- Clearer panel buttons. The buttons at the bottom of the control panel now fill their tiles like the other tiles, with new filled icons for opening the app, the widget, scanning and settings. The Menu bar page's gallery shows the same icons.
Fixes
- The panel on a second screen. With two screens of different scale (for example a Retina laptop and a regular monitor), the control panel could open in the middle of the other screen. It now opens under the menu bar icon you clicked, on that screen.
- The update banner. On pages with their own title (Limits, Sources, Widget studio, Menu bar), the update banner no longer sits against the top edge of the window.
- No more bare error page. After a window was closed, it could come back showing only "only POST and OPTIONS are allowed". The app's windows now open only the app's own pages; anything else is refused and the window stays where it was.
Good to know
- No database change. Backups made with 0.8.4 can still be imported into 0.8.3.
Install
- Windows:
AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.4_x64-setup.exe. No administrator rights are needed. The installer is not code-signed, so Windows may show "Unknown publisher". Choose More info → Run anyway. - macOS:
AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.4_universal.dmg. Drag the app to Applications and open it from there. - Linux:
AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.4_x86_64.deb(Debian, Ubuntu),AI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.4_x86_64.rpm(Fedora; on openSUSE add--allow-unsigned-rpm), orAI-Usage-Tracker_0.8.4_x86_64.AppImage(any distribution).
If you already use an earlier version, update from inside the app (Settings → Updates, the bottom left of the window, or the banner).
See the README for details, including how to uninstall on each system.
