If you use US Mobile phone service, this app sits in your OS X Menubar and graphically shows you the percentage remaining of billing cycle, minutes, SMS, and data.
The icon turns orange if the percent remaining of a resource falls below the percent remaining of your billing cycle.
This lets you quickly see if you are using more resources than you purchased.
In addition, it tells you:
- Date your billing cycle ends
- Days remaining in billing cycle
- Minutes remaining
- SMS remaining
- Data (MB) remaining
It also provides a link for easy access to top up your account.
Currently this is not packaged as a user-friendly downloadable stand-alone app. To use it, clone the github repository, make sure all python dependencies are installed, and then run python ./umma.py. Note that this application depends on rumps (https://github.com/jaredks/rumps), but due to a bug you should install the bugfixd-nobundleid version from zollman (https://github.com/zollman/rumps/tree/bugfix-nobundleid).
