hey HN, i've been making this Mac app called Die With Me. it lets you see how much claude / codex usage your friends have left. it's kind of like AIM buddy list, but for your AI tokensand when your token allowance goes below 20%, a chatroom for everyone who is waiting for a resetI made this because i wanted to bring a little bit of the old internet back! i remember those days where i'd casually check if friends are online and find excuses to say hi and poke themgive it a try! i'd greatly appreciate feedback
