Burn bright.Never burn out.

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Vercel and Setapp AI. Each one shows its own limits: sessions and weekly windows, billing cycles or credit balances. More providers are on the way.

Each provider connects its own way, and you choose which ones. If Claude Code, the Codex CLI, the Cursor app or the Vercel CLI is signed in on your Mac, Burnstate reads that login and never changes it, so it can’t sign you out. If not, you sign in to Codex or Cursor from Burnstate in your browser, or paste an AI Gateway API key for Vercel. Burnstate keeps that login or key in its own Keychain item. For Claude, the sign in button runs Claude Code’s own login. If Claude Code has no working login, Burnstate reads your limits from claude.ai with your session in the Claude app or your browser.

Only to the providers themselves. Burnstate asks each provider’s own API for your limits and computes tokens and cost from logs on your Mac. AI insights go to Setapp AI, and only when you ask for one. The direct edition also checks its license key with burnstate.dev, and sends nothing else. No account, no analytics.

Yes, with a burn report: up to a year of Claude Code, Codex and Cursor usage, plus the Setapp AI credits Burnstate has tracked, on one page, built on your Mac. Burnstate opens it as a burnstate.dev link with the numbers packed after the #. Browsers never send that part to a server, so sharing the link shares the report without uploading it. You can also copy it as an image.

Every limit runs on a window, like five hours or a week. The tick marks how much of that window has passed. If your usage is ahead of the tick, you’re burning faster than the clock, and Burnstate tells you when you’d run out at that pace.

Yes. On launch Burnstate adds a hook to ~/.claude/settings.json, with nothing to turn on. Adding it saves that file again with its keys sorted; your settings stay as they were. Each prompt shows up as a card with allow and deny. Your terminal still shows its own prompt, and whichever you answer first wins. If Burnstate isn’t running, Claude Code works exactly as before.

Yes. When Claude Code asks you to choose, through the same hook, the card walks through each question as a step. Pick an option, tick several, or type your own answer, then submit. The terminal still offers its own picker, and whichever you finish first wins. Questions have their own switch in settings if you’d rather answer in the terminal.

They float in the top-right corner, never take focus, pause while you hover and swipe away. Each of the seven kinds has its own switch, so you keep only the ones you want.

Yes, with Cooldown. It reminds you after 90 minutes at the keyboard without a pause, around lunch and dinner, when it’s time to wind down and when you planned to stop. A break counts only time away, so typing pauses its clock. Before you go, you can hand idle agents a task, and they keep working while you’re gone. The break locks the Mac until it ends, which you can turn off. When you’re back, a welcome back shows what each agent did and the cards that waited. Cooldown reads only how long your keyboard and mouse have been idle, never what you type. Every time is yours to change, or turn it off in settings.

It uses published per-token API prices, including cache reads and writes, applied to your local logs. Subscriptions aren’t billed per token, so think of it as what that work would cost at API rates. Cursor’s numbers come straight from Cursor.

Any Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia or later. Burnstate is a native SwiftUI app that lives in the menu bar. Insights from Apple Intelligence need macOS 26 Tahoe on an Apple silicon Mac.

The direct download is a one-time license with updates included, sized to the Macs you use: $49.99 for 1 Mac, $69.99 for 2 Macs, $89.99 for 3 Macs. The same license also comes as a subscription, from $3.99 a month or $24.99 a year. Creem sells it and emails the receipt and your key. Setapp gets you Burnstate plus 260+ other Mac apps for one membership, with its own 7-day trial. The Mac App Store edition, coming soon, is a one-time purchase. It runs in Apple’s sandbox, so it asks once to read your home folder, leaves updating your coding tools to you, and answers insights with Apple Intelligence on your Mac.
