Ceiling's first public Windows release.
Ceiling keeps your AI subscription limits visible without turning them into another dashboard you have to babysit. Check capacity from the tray, keep the compact strip above the taskbar, or open the full dashboard when you want more detail.
Highlights
- Always-visible capacity strip: A polished, taskbar-adjacent view of current usage and reset timing that stays out of the way.
- Clear desktop dashboard: Overview, Activity, Accounts, and Charts surfaces with explicit live, cached, stale, and unavailable states.
- First-class provider tracking: Focused setup and credential discovery for Codex, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and GitHub Copilot.
- Better Cursor visibility: Separate Plan, Auto, and API usage lanes, including the total plan metric in the floating strip.
- Dependable reset alerts: Restrained strip animations and Windows notifications for meaningful scheduled or surprise resets, with startup replay, promotional pools, and alert bursts suppressed.
- Tray-native behavior: Minimizing hides Ceiling to the system tray, and clicking the tray icon reliably restores the dashboard to the foreground.
Privacy and reliability
Ceiling is local-first. Credentials and usage data stay on your PC, and browser cookies, API keys, and local sign-in sources remain opt-in.
This release also hardens provider-window changes, stale history handling, notification throttling, dependency security, and the signed Windows release pipeline.
Downloads
Ceiling-0.43.2-Setup.exeis recommended for normal installation, upgrades, Start Menu integration, and uninstall support.Ceiling-0.43.2-portable.exeis the standalone option and can run without installation.- SHA-256 sidecar files are included for both downloads.
Both executables are signed by Brandon South and were verified before release. The installer also passed an automated install, launch, and uninstall smoke test.
Ceiling is an independent Windows-focused fork of Win-CodexBar, which is based on CodexBar. Thank you to both upstream projects and their contributors.
