This looks great. What am I doing wrong? I downloaded it, installed, but all I see is a red X in the toolbar. When I click on it, it says "Authentication expired. Run 'claude' to re-aut..." so I run claude in terminal and still nothing...

Hmmm. What version are you running?

"Follow me on X" Why... just why? Why do people keep insisting on using it?

Same here, it reads like a political statement. Easy enough to remove it though.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"I'm on Intel and would be interested in this if you find a way to make that work."

Funny thing I went down a rabbit hole, cause I first scanned the open PRs and saw a PR to enable universal builds to support intel macs but the whole thing was pure AI slop and someone commented that codexbar already supports intel, and sure enough v.15 added it (the AI slop PR completely missed that), I then looked into the cask script and it has a hardcoded dependency on arm which prevents brew from installing v.17…

I came to the same conclusion before making that snarky and apparently offensive comment. Live to learn I guess.

Thanks for the feedback. The new version is being notarised now.

Alternatively there's also this with 1.7k stars already and supporting more services (Despite the name): https://github.com/steipete/CodexBar ( https://codexbar.app )

btw, I have failed to make the proper use of either of them - claudecodeusage keeps saying that I'm not signed in (I have Claude Desktop and CLI installed and signed in on both). CodexBar keeps saying "Claude usage probe timed out", even though it does show some numbers. I don't have a subscription, I just use the API.

You mean "after" making the comment? Your offensive comment makes no sense if you already had the universal build context
