# CCS Bar — Native macOS Menu Bar App CCS Bar is a native macOS menu-bar app that shows live subscription quota and usage at a glance for your Claude Code, Codex, and CLIProxy accounts, without opening the dashboard. ## What It Is CCS Bar is a thin client of the CCS local web-server. It never talks to a provider directly: every call goes to `localhost`, and CCS performs any provider fetch server-side. Opening the menu fires a debounced force-refresh so the glance reflects live data without blocking the UI. It is macOS only. ## What It Shows - Per-account quota percent and reset countdown - Account tier - Today, 7-day, and 30-day cost - A 30-day usage sparkline - Account state (active, paused, default) - Native subscription rows for Claude Code and Codex ## Requirements - macOS - CCS CLI installed and configured (`ccs config` works) - The CCS web-server reachable on loopback. `ccs bar` (or `ccs bar launch`) starts it for you. ## Install ```bash ccs bar install ``` This downloads `CCS-Bar.app.zip` from the floating `ccs-bar-latest` GitHub release and installs `CCS Bar.app` into `~/Applications`. Downloads are restricted to `github.com` and `objects.githubusercontent.com`, and extraction is guarded against zip-slip. ### Gatekeeper note The v1 builds use ad-hoc signing, so the first launch may be blocked by Gatekeeper. Either right-click the app and choose Open, or clear the quarantine attribute: ```bash xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "$HOME/Applications/CCS Bar.app" ``` ## Launch ```bash ccs bar # alias: ccs bar launch ``` This makes sure the web-server is up, writes the discovery file `~/.ccs/bar.json`, and opens the app. The discovery file looks like this: ```json { "baseUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:3000", "port": 3000, "authMode": "loopback" } ``` The Swift app reads `~/.ccs/bar.json` to find the server. ## Loopback / Localhost Requirement CCS Bar talks only to `http://127.0.0.1:`. v1 supports `authMode: "loopback"` only, meaning dashboard auth disabled on localhost. If you bind the dashboard beyond localhost (for example `--host` set to a non-loopback address) with dashboard auth disabled, the bar's read endpoints (`GET /api/bar/summary`, `GET /api/bar/analytics`) are refused for non-loopback callers, and the app cannot reach the server. Keep the dashboard on loopback for CCS Bar to work. ## Uninstall ```bash ccs bar uninstall ``` This removes `~/Applications/CCS Bar.app` and the installed version pin. It is a no-op if the app is not present. ## Troubleshooting - Server failed to start: usually a port conflict. Free the port or re-run `ccs bar` to pick a fresh one. - App won't open (Gatekeeper): right-click and Open, or clear quarantine with the `xattr` command above. - Blank app: the web-server is not running. Re-run `ccs bar` and confirm `~/.ccs/bar.json` exists. - Quota not updating: re-open the menu to force a refresh, or confirm the server is still reachable on loopback. ## Development The source lives in `macos-bar/`. Contributors can build and run the logic checks with a Swift 5.9+ toolchain (CommandLineTools is enough, full Xcode not required): ```bash swift build # build all targets, including the app swift run ccs-bar-check # run the logic tests ```
