1. Download
Start with the macOS DMG.
Use the download page to grab the current TokenBar build and start the install flow immediately.
Get started
Download, install, and start watching live AI usage on Mac.
Getting started with TokenBar is intentionally short: download the DMG, move the app into Applications, open it once, and leave the live signal running in your menu bar.

Overview
The first-run flow is supposed to stay boring.
TokenBar works best when setup is quick enough that you do it once and then forget about it. The app is designed to become a lightweight part of the normal Mac workflow, not another system that needs maintenance.
Once it is installed, the value appears during active work: prompt-heavy debugging, mixed-provider activity, editor traffic, and long sessions that would otherwise only show up later in a billing page.
For more context, read Open the install page, continue with Read common install questions, and keep See pricing open if you want the next step from this page.
2. Install
Move TokenBar into Applications and launch it once.
If macOS shows a warning on first launch, open the app once from Finder and the install flow is done.
3. Keep it visible
Leave the signal in the menu bar during real work.
That is when TokenBar becomes useful: while usage is still changing and provider traffic is still happening.
What to do after install
Open the app, let it sit in the menu bar, and use it while you are already working in OpenAI, Claude, supported Cursor workflows, Gemini, Copilot, or other AI tools. The product is meant to stay nearby, not take over the workflow.
The important habit is simple: glance at the live signal when sessions feel heavier than expected. That is enough to catch many expensive mistakes earlier.
When TokenBar starts paying for itself
The first useful moment usually happens during a debugging run, an editor-heavy coding session, or a mixed-provider workflow where request activity keeps moving after you stop actively looking at it.
That is why the setup page points people toward the guides and provider pages next. Those pages explain what to watch once the app is installed.
What to read next
If your main concern is install and workflow fit, the FAQ is next. If your main concern is whether the tool helps with OpenAI, Claude, or Cursor specifically, go directly to the dedicated provider pages.
If the broader goal is cost control, the guides and use-case pages give a better explanation of how to use the live signal during real work.
