Everything it does

A quiet meter for an<br>unstoppable habit.

Menu-bar meter<br>Your live token count and today's spend, always one glance away in the macOS menu bar. No dashboard to open.

Live usage chart<br>See tokens by the hour across the day, so you can spot the runaway sessions the moment they start climbing.

Cost & per-model breakdown<br>Tokens, dollars, and how today compares to your baseline, split by model, so you know exactly where spend goes.

Lock-screen nudges<br>A full-screen reminder every time you cross a threshold. It auto-dismisses in 10s, just enough to make you look up.

Configurable thresholds<br>Set the nudge to fire every N million tokens. Tune how often Token Time interrupts you, or barely at all.

Runs locally, stays private<br>No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Your usage data never leaves your Mac. Download it and it just works.

Always on

Live in your<br>menu bar

Token Time runs quietly in the background and keeps today's usage right where you can see it. Click the icon for the full picture: the hourly chart, the running cost, and your lock-screen settings.

The break

Get the short break<br>you deserve

When you've been heads-down too long, Token Time gently takes over your screen for ten seconds. Breathe, stretch, look away. Then it hands the day back to you.

Fires every N million tokens, you choose

Auto-dismisses after 10 seconds

A full-screen cue to actually step away

Private by design

Your usage stays<br>on your Mac.

No account to create, no server to phone home to. Token Time reads your usage locally and keeps every number on your device.

No account<br>Download and run. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to log in to.

No cloud<br>Your data never leaves the machine. No sync, no upload, no third parties.

No telemetry<br>Token Time doesn't track you back. What happens on your Mac stays there.
