Monitor supported editor-side request traffic in real time
Cursor usage tracking
Track supported Cursor workflows while editor traffic is still moving.
TokenBar gives you a live menu bar view of supported Cursor, Copilot, and mixed-provider request activity so background usage does not quietly pile up.

Overview
What makes TokenBar useful in this workflow.
Cursor usage tracking is useful because coding tools can keep making requests after you stop actively watching them. Coverage depends on how the editor routes those requests. TokenBar keeps supported traffic visible in the menu bar instead of hiding it behind later summaries.
Keep Cursor and API usage in one running surface
Notice background request growth before it compounds
What Cursor coverage depends on
Editor-side AI traffic has a different failure mode from a single prompt in a web app. Requests can happen in the background, providers can shift, and the cost can grow while your attention is somewhere else in the coding workflow.
TokenBar is strongest when the editor integration and provider routing are supported. In custom API key or non-standard routing setups, the app may show the underlying provider activity instead of a clean Cursor session, or miss the session entirely.
One view for Cursor, Copilot, and provider traffic
People searching for Cursor usage tracking are often really trying to understand a mix of editor requests, model calls, and provider costs. TokenBar is useful because it keeps those related activities closer together in one live surface.
When supported editor traffic and provider usage are both visible, you get a more readable session-level picture of what the tooling is doing.
Better for developers who want low-friction monitoring
A menu bar app fits coding workflows better than a heavy analytics product when the job is simple visibility. TokenBar is designed to be quick to install, quick to check, and easy to keep around every day.
That makes it a practical answer for people who want Cursor usage tracking on macOS without taking on another subscription beyond a Basic $5 lifetime license.
FAQ
More direct answers for this query.
Can TokenBar show Cursor and Copilot traffic together?
In supported editor workflows, yes. Coverage still depends on the integration and routing path.
Why is a menu bar app useful for Cursor usage tracking?
Because the signal stays visible while you code. You do not need to interrupt your workflow just to open another dashboard.
Does TokenBar always track Cursor sessions that use a custom API key?
No. Custom provider keys can change how the traffic is routed. In those setups, TokenBar may depend on the underlying provider connection, and some sessions may not appear as Cursor traffic.
Does TokenBar only work with Cursor?
No. It also covers OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and other providers that show up in real developer workflows.
