What is CreditBar?
Most menu bar trackers watch one thing: your coding assistant, or your cloud bill, or your revenue. CreditBar watches both sides of the ledger in one macOS menu bar.
On the spend side it tracks credit balances and usage across 100+ providers: AI models (Claude Code, OpenAI, OpenRouter), image and video (fal.ai, Magnific), voice (ElevenLabs), scraping, infrastructure and messaging. On the revenue side it reads Stripe, Polar, Dodo Payments, RevenueCat, Lemon Squeezy, Shopify and WooCommerce.
Tag accounts by client or project and see what each one costs against what it earns. Alerts warn you before a balance runs out, desktop widgets keep the numbers in view, and a read-only MCP server lets your agents ask what you spent.
Nothing leaves your Mac: API keys live in the macOS Keychain and requests go straight to each provider. One lifetime licence, no subscription. macOS 14+, Apple silicon.
Best for: Indie hackers, studios and agencies paying for AI and infra across many accounts
