AgentQuartz is a macOS menu bar companion for Claude and Cursor usage. It gives you a tray view of provider usage so you can check status at a glance without leaving the app you are working in. The app is designed to stay local: settings and session material live on your machine, and AgentQuartz does not create its own cloud account for usage. A free tier covers the core usage monitor, while a one-time Pro license adds tray customization options such as additional progress shapes and mark placement controls. ## What can AgentQuartz do? ### Menu bar usage monitoring Shows Claude and Cursor usage in the macOS menu bar so you can check limits without opening a browser or leaving your current workflow. ### Tray progress styles Provides a circular progress ring by default, with Pro adding pie, bar, and arc progress shapes for the tray display. ### Tray mark placement control Lets you change where the provider mark sits relative to the gauge, including inside the tray or outside on the left or right with Pro. ### Hide tray percentages Supports hiding the percentage text next to the tray icon in Pro, so the status bar can stay visually lighter. ### Local session storage Keeps settings and session material local on your machine rather than creating a separate cloud account for usage. ### Per-provider tray settings Includes settings for provider-specific icon controls, with Claude and Cursor tray options configured separately when each provider is enabled. ## Use Cases ### At-a-glance usage checks Keep an eye on Claude and Cursor usage from the macOS menu bar while working in another app, so you can check status with a quick glance instead of switching windows. ### Personalized status bar display Customize the tray icon to match how you prefer to read status, using the default circular ring or the Pro-only shape and mark-placement options. ### Local-only workflow Install the app locally and keep session material on-device when you want a lightweight companion without creating a separate product account. ### Tray customization after upgrade Activate Pro with a Gumroad key when you want extra display controls such as hiding the percentage text or moving the provider mark outside the gauge. ### Manual macOS installation Open the latest GitHub Release zip on a Mac and follow the first-open Gatekeeper steps if you need a manual install flow rather than a store-based installer. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What does AgentQuartz do?
