In plain English

Pane is a small desktop app for Windows that sits in your system tray and shows you, in one place, how much you have left across all the different AI subscriptions you use. If you rely on tools like Claude, ChatGPT's Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and more, each one normally hides its usage limits behind its own separate dashboard, counted in its own units, and resetting on its own schedule. Pane pulls all of that together so you do not find out you are running low only after you hit a wall in the middle of a task. It works by reading the same login files your AI command line tools and editors already save on your computer, or by taking an API key you type into its settings. For each tool it finds, it shows a card with usage details. Every few minutes it checks each provider's own official usage endpoints, the same ones the vendors' own apps use, and updates session counts, weekly limits, credit balances, and reset times. If a check fails, Pane shows the last known good numbers marked as outdated instead of leaving a blank card. For every limit that resets on a schedule, Pane estimates whether you are on pace to run out before the reset, coloring bars amber or red as things get tighter, with an option to send a Windows notification when you are close to the limit. Pane also reads local usage logs your tools already keep, prices each request using current per model rates, and shows a spending breakdown for today, yesterday, and the past thirty days, broken down by model. If a model has no public price, it keeps the token count without guessing a dollar figure. Everything runs locally on your machine. There is no account required and no telemetry sent about your usage, spend, or provider data. The only network check is an anonymous update check every few hours. Pane is free, open source, built with Rust and a small web based interface, and currently supports seventeen different AI tool providers.
