Both limits at a glance
Claude Code and Codex each have a short limit that refills every few hours and a weekly one. Pikori shows both as bars with their reset times, so you know whether to push on or take a break.
- Read the bars as time left or as time used. Switch any time in Settings.
- Readings that are more than a few minutes old fade and show their age, so an old number never looks live.
- Get a notification when a limit runs low.
Pick who keeps you company
66 animated characters. Pick a different one for the menu bar, each Today card, and the System and Clipboard tabs. Set Motion to Lively and each moves its own way: dinosaurs walk, fish swim, the spider drops on its thread. Calm keeps them still.
Choose a character to see it on a card.

Your usage stays on your Mac
Claude Code already reports your limits to its status line. Pikori adds a small local bridge that saves those numbers to a file on your Mac. It keeps your existing status line and backs up your settings first.
Codex limits come from the Codex app on your Mac, through its documented app-server.
Your notes, calendar, and recent copies stay on your Mac too.
Pikori has no account and no analytics. Nothing about your usage leaves your computer. It goes online only to check for updates and, if you buy a pack, to check your license key.

Questions
Is Pikori free?
Yes. The app and 26 characters are free, with no ads and no subscription. Extra characters cost $1.99 each, or $3.99 to $7.99 for a pack, paid once.
Is it safe to install?
Yes. Pikori is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS checks it before it opens. There is no account and no analytics, and your usage stays on your Mac.
Why is Pikori's number different from the one on claude.ai?
Check the wording first: Pikori shows what is left by default, and claude.ai shows what is used. 65% left and 35% used are the same. Also, Pikori gets new numbers when Claude Code talks to Claude, so usage on the website shows up after your next Claude Code message.
How do updates work?
Pikori checks for a new version once a day and shows what changed before it installs. To install updates without asking, turn it on in Settings > About.
Does Pikori have a clipboard history?
Yes, for free. Turn on Save recent copies on the Clipboard tab and Pikori keeps up to 30 copies for 24 hours: text, links, images and files. Passwords from password managers are skipped, and everything stays on your Mac.
Can Pikori show CPU, memory and battery?
Yes. The System tab shows CPU load, memory, storage, battery charge and temperature, network speed and your local IP address, updated every 2 seconds while it is open.
How do I remove Pikori?
If you connected Claude Code, click Disconnect Claude Code in Settings > General first; your old status line comes back. Then quit Pikori and move it to the Bin.
Does it work on Windows or Linux?
Not yet. Versions for both are planned.
