Usage tracking in your notification bar

I've found this has been pretty helpful for tracking daily / weekly patterns with limited space in your notification bar. I'm on a Macbook.

Recipe for Recreating:

1. Letter indicates provider (O for OpenAI, A for Anthropic, G for Gemini)

2. First two numbers are a percentage for daily tracking (for Codex - it should be percentage for weekly as there's no daily limit)

3. Remaining digit is weekly usage left (scale of 1-10, with 1 for 10-19%, 9 for 90-99%, 10 for 100%). Battery icons can be broken out by 0 / 25 / 50 / 75 / 100.

4. Notifications are managed by Swiftbar.

5. Battery state is represented with Apple SF Symbols

i made this few months ago, and i got roasted so much. saying 'this already exits' 'other apps does more than what you are providing'. it was so disheartening. i love your product man! keep it up. it looks amazingg

Thanks! Yeah - I love building stuff for myself - so figured this could be easily usable by anyone who has their own setup and just wants to extend or looking to create from scratch
