Questions

Which tools?

Chips will be shown for Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Kimi, OpenCode, Command Code, and Grok Bot.

What if TokenTracker is empty?

Command Code, OpenCode, Grok, Cursor, Kimi, Codex, and Antigravity can still show, from the login already on your Mac. Claude still needs TokenTracker to send a window.

How do I update?

From the TokenBar folder:

git pull
./scripts/install.sh

How do I uninstall?

Quit TokenBar. If Launch at Login is on, turn it off in Settings first. Then drag TokenBar out of Applications.

Fallbacks

TokenTracker sometimes comes back stale or empty. A fallback then asks that tool itself, and owns every window for it.
