OpenAI Usage Monitor

OpenAi now requires a session key for requests to the billing and usage endpoints, therefore this app as it is won’t work anymore!

A simple menu bar app for macOS to monitor your OpenAI API usage. The app shows the total usage cost for the current month and refreshes the information every minute.

Note: This app is designed to work on macOS only.
