Versions:
AI Usage Dashboard, published by neyham and currently at version 0.8.5, is a local-first Windows desktop application that combines a dashboard and screensaver for monitoring AI tool usage. Across its 11 released versions, the software has focused on presenting usage windows for Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Cursor, and Antigravity alongside a DeepSeek API balance, giving users a single place to observe activity across multiple AI coding assistants. Falling into the developer tools and AI monitoring category, it suits developers and power users who work with several AI providers and want consolidated, at-a-glance visibility without relying on external services. The Display Settings include a write-only DeepSeek API key field, optional Cursor and Antigravity panels that remain off by default, and an optional Low Power Mode that disables animation and reduces renderer update work, making the screensaver mode practical for continuous display. Privacy and security are central design considerations: credentials and provider requests stay within the native Rust backend, while the renderer receives only sanitized usage summaries, so sensitive keys are never exposed to the front end. The project operates with no developer-run server, analytics, or telemetry, reinforcing its local-first approach. Typical use cases include tracking usage limits and quotas across supported AI tools, checking a DeepSeek API balance, and running a low-overhead ambient display of AI activity on a Windows machine. Because all data handling occurs locally, the dashboard is appropriate for users who prefer to keep API credentials on their own devices while still benefiting from a unified view of multi-provider AI consumption.
