See Cursor usage limits without opening Settings

Cursor packs a lot into the IDE — inline edits, agent mode, model switching — but checking how much of your plan you have burned still means hunting through account screens or hoping you remember the last number you saw. When you are deep in a feature branch, that context switch costs more than the few seconds it takes.

Menu-bar visibility for Cursor users

Token Gauge is a small, native menu-bar app for Mac — and the same app, on the same license, runs in the Windows system tray. It reads Cursor's request usage and limits (spend-based) from your local session database, or a pasted cookie, and keeps the latest numbers on disk. One click opens a popover with live usage, reset countdowns and color-coded status. Set Cursor as your primary agent and the menu bar shows your current window at a glance — useful when you're fullscreen in the editor and don't want to break focus.

Built for multi-agent workflows

Many developers run Cursor alongside Claude Code or Codex. Token Gauge tabs let you flip between agents in the same popover instead of maintaining mental models for three different dashboards. Daily detail helps you spot heavy days before a cap surprises you on Friday afternoon. Where Cursor exposes per-model detail it shows up; gaps are labeled rather than filled with invented numbers.

Licensing and honest limits

Download the app free — Claude Code works without a key. Cursor unlocks with the $7.99 lifetime license alongside Codex, Copilot and Gemini: three device activations, Mac and Windows, lifetime updates, a 30-day refund through Lemon Squeezy. Token Gauge is independent software — not affiliated with Anysphere — and it doesn't read your codebase, prompts or chat transcripts. Outbound traffic is limited to Cursor's usage reads plus license validation; it isn't fully offline, but nothing of what you build leaves the machine.

If Cursor changes how it reports limits, we update the integration and note any gaps in release notes rather than silently showing stale assumptions. Local data includes a timestamp so you always know whether you're looking at live numbers or the last successful poll.
