Ceiling
AI usage. One elegant view.
For developers and power users living inside Codex, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and Copilot
Every AI subscription meters you differently — five-hour windows, weekly caps, monthly quotas — and none of them make it easy to see how much you have left before you hit a wall mid-task. Ceiling answers one question fast: how much AI capacity do I have right now, and when does it reset? It keeps rolling limits and reset times visible from the system tray and a transparent, always-on-top strip just above the Windows taskbar. It treats the provider's own meter as the source of truth, shows a truthful distinction between live, cached, stale, and failed reads instead of faking precision, and keeps every credential and reading local to your machine.
// features
OpenAI Codex/ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini/Google AI, and GitHub Copilot — each with remaining capacity, reset time, source, and freshness in one compact flyout.
A transparent, always-on-top strip sits just above the Windows 11 taskbar and shows your remaining capacity at a glance without stealing focus.
Five-hour, weekly, monthly, and provider-specific allowances are shown on their own — no blending caps into one misleading number.
A visible distinction between live, cached, stale, and failed reads. When a provider stops reporting a known limit, "not currently enforced" is a first-class state, not fake precision.
Credentials and usage data stay on the machine. Browser cookies, API keys, and login sources are opt-in — nothing is sent anywhere by default.
Built with Tauri, React, and Rust for fast startup, low idle work, and system accent-aware appearance. Code-signed installer and portable build.
// how it works
- 01 Install and sign in to sources
Download the code-signed build from ceiling.win, then opt in to the providers you use — cookies, login, or API key, your choice, all stored locally.
- 02 Watch the strip or tray
Ceiling reads each provider's reported limits and surfaces remaining capacity and reset times above your taskbar and in the tray flyout.
- 03 Never get surprised
See a limit approaching before it stops you mid-task, and know exactly when each window resets — including unexpected resets and restored allowances.
// under the hood
Ceiling reads each provider's reported windows and treats them as authoritative; local activity is contextual only, so it never invents entitlement data.
Five-hour, weekly, monthly, and provider-specific allowances are tracked independently, including when a depleted quota is restored and when a provider grants extra allowances.
Every reading carries a live / cached / stale / failed state, and a distinct "not currently enforced" state when a provider stops reporting a known limit.
Shared provider and usage logic lives in Rust; the desktop shell is Tauri + React for a fast, low-idle, accent-aware Windows app.
