About headroom

Headroom Your AI coding quotas and ship status — on the desk, in the menu bar, and on your phone. When you're deep in Claude, Codex, or Cursor, you shouldn't have to dig through billing pages, , and Vercel to answer: Am I about to hit a limit? Did CI go red? Is prod healthy? Headroom is a local-first desk gadget + macOS menu bar (+ optional iPhone) that consolidates that into one glance: One Python host on your Mac reads local auth + CLIs and serves a single JSON feed. No cloud account for Headroom itself — your tokens stay on the machine. <img src="docs/screenshots/ios-overview.png" alt=
