    From the README

    Native Omarchy Quattro panel, Waybar widget, and tabbed TUI for AI plan usage across Claude, Codex/ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Z.AI (GLM), OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Kimi, Nous Research, OpenCode Go, Command Code, and other supported AI coding services.

    ai-usagebar began as a Rust port of claudebar and remains drop-in compatible. It keeps claudebar's Pango tooltip, Omarchy theme detection, and flock-protected OAuth refresh while adding more providers and a testable Rust codebase.
