Inside the app

Four screens that make the price obvious.

Your whole AI stack, visible from one menu bar across the four views you actually check.

Live command center

One menu bar. Your whole AI bill.

Live Claude Web limits, your AI subscriptions, and a tap-through to Usage Insights all live in one calm popover. You see the real picture before another session quietly gets expensive.

Provider coverage

All 8 providers in one source of truth.

Claude Web connects with live rate limits, Claude Code is auto-detected from your local files, and OpenAI, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Mistral each take one key. No tab safari.

Menu bar control

Put the number that matters in the menu bar.

Show a live provider, all-provider spend, or subscription total. The signal stays visible in the format that matches how you actually work.

Morning digest + alerts

Get the warning before the bill gets weird.

Morning digests, rate-limit thresholds, and budget alerts surface the drift early. You wake up with the number already waiting.

Key features

The features that make T4B different.

Five product decisions make the app useful while you work, not after the damage is done.

Usage Insights (Pro). See where every token goes, by project and by model, what is eating your weekly limit, and how to stretch it. Calculated locally; it never reads your prompts.

Ambient rate-limit warning

The menu bar cup shifts from calm to amber to red before Claude Code rate limits your session.

You do not need another dashboard to tell you your runway is collapsing. The warning stays visible while you are still working.

5h

Claude window

Month-end bill prediction

Catch the $47/month drift before it turns into another quiet invoice.

The point is not the number alone. The point is seeing the spend pattern early enough to stop it while the month is still recoverable.

$47/mo

Common spend caught

Zero-setup onboarding

Claude Code and GitHub Copilot connect from local config. Cursor, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, and OpenRouter take one key.

This is built for builders in the middle of work, not for people who want another configuration project.

2 min

Typical setup

Session budget / Focus Mode

Set a spend cap before you start, then get warned before you drift past it.

The point is to stop the accidental runaway agent run while the session is still open in front of you.

Why people pay

T4B users find $47/month they forgot was running — on day one.

That is the first moment where the app pays for itself: you catch the drift before it becomes another month of background spend.

No more mid-task interruptions

You know exactly how much runway you have before Claude cuts out. No surprises at minute 47 of a long agent run.

No more end-of-month bill panic

The month-end total is predictable from day one. Tokens 4 Breakfast shows your projected spend every morning.

No more context-switching

The number lives in your menu bar. You never have to open a dashboard, check a browser tab, or log in to anything.
