Could you build this?

Partial A native macOS floating HUD is buildable with AI help, but reliably tracking rolling limits across seven providers is hard because many consumer subscription limits are not exposed through any API.

What it would actually take: A Swift/SwiftUI app using AppKit window APIs for the Dynamic Island-style capsule, plus a per-provider adapter layer. Accurate data needs either official usage endpoints, where they exist, or fragile reverse-engineered scraping of web and app sessions, which must be maintained as providers change. Keeping that data layer reliable is the hard part.
