Is “estimated spend” the same as my bill?
No. Midas prices your tokens at public API rates to show what that usage would have cost pay-as-you-go. Subscription fees, credits, discounts, and each provider’s billing rules are different. If an estimate is missing, Midas leaves it out and explains the coverage in Estimate details instead of counting it as $0.
How does Midas put a dollar figure on Codex usage from my other Macs?
With Track all connected accounts on, Midas reads available Codex cloud token history for each connected account and combines it across computers. It prices those tokens with a blended rate taken from your recent priced local history. If it has no usable sample, the dollar figure stays unavailable. You can also set your own rate or show tokens only. Cloud history comes from private ChatGPT analytics endpoints, not an official billing API, so it can change independently of Midas.
Can I see the same combined usage on my Mac mini and MacBook?
Yes. In Settings → Sync, choose a private Tailscale hub on your Mac mini, or the same private iCloud Drive folder on Macs using the same Apple Account. No Midas account is required. Midas combines recorded Codex, Claude Code, and Meta’s Muse Code usage; the same Cursor account is counted once. The hub can also receive supported numeric usage from a Linux collector, including DGX Spark. Shared history uses UTC days and retains up to 365 days of available records. Devices save locally while offline and retry later. Keep the hub awake and reachable for exchanges; saving on one Mac does not confirm the other has received it. Check each device’s last sync. Provider sign-ins and quota limits remain local.
How is DGX Spark’s local inference valued?
The DGX Spark card shows a fixed last-30-days total from newly collected vLLM metrics, with input and output tokens added once. Supported NVIDIA Qwen3.8-Flash-Next NVFP4 usage is compared with Lyceum’s hosted Qwen3.8-Flash-Next rates: $0.20 per million uncached input tokens, $0.05 cached input, and $0.50 output, checked October 17, 2026. The local quantized model and hosted service can differ. This is an API-equivalent estimate, not a bill or a claim of actual savings. Unknown models, missing token mixes, and history from before collection stay unpriced; Midas marks incomplete coverage as partial. DGX Spark has no cloud subscription quota.
Can Midas track Meta AI or the Muse app?
Meta AI and the Muse consumer app are currently unavailable as numeric usage sources. Midas can read and sync Muse Code token logs. It does not estimate tokens from your private conversations or treat missing consumer usage as zero.
Which Macs can run Midas?
Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Download the ZIP, unzip it, and move Midas to Applications. Since 0.37.0 Midas is its own app, so it can sit next to an upstream CodexBar install, and your settings from earlier versions come along on first launch.
Do all providers show remaining quota?
Only when the provider reports one. Codex shows weekly remaining, Cursor shows its Cursor Models, Other Models, and Grok Bot meters, and Meta stays out of the quota ring. Observed Meta plan windows can appear in the app; a recorded-activity summary is not a reported plan allowance. Quota percentages are never averaged across accounts or providers.
What is a banked reset?
Codex can grant on-demand rate-limit resets. Midas shows how many each connected account has available, separate from the scheduled weekly reset. Zero means none are available, Unavailable means no count was reported, and stale counts are labeled last known. Hover a row or expand account details to see reported expiry times.
What about Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and the rest?
Guided setup covers Codex, Claude, Cursor, and Meta. Connect personal and work Claude accounts with separate sign-ins and verified emails. Each account shows its 5-hour and all-model weekly limits in the overview; model-specific weekly limits, including Fable when reported, stay in account details. Add an Anthropic Admin API key for billed API spend. Every provider from the CodexBar foundation, including Gemini, GitHub Copilot, OpenRouter, Grok, Perplexity, and more than 40 others, is available in Settings → Providers.
What leaves my Mac?
Midas talks to providers with the credentials you already have and never stores passwords. API keys you add yourself, such as an Anthropic Admin key, stay in your Mac’s Keychain. Provider logos are bundled, so opening the app makes no logo requests. Optional Codex pricing-sample sharing sends derived rates and expires them after 24 hours. Separately, opt-in Sync shares numeric usage history, costs, public model names, opaque account and event IDs, and device labels through your chosen private folder or Tailscale hub. Each hub collector uses a separate revocable usage credential; provider credentials are never shared. Prompts, conversation text, raw emails, and credentials stay local. Anyone with access to that folder can read its usage data; use a private hub and approved devices only.
How do updates work?
Choose Check for Updates in the panel, then Download and Install & Restart. Releases are signed and notarized and delivered through Midas’s own Sparkle feed, which accepts only signed Midas builds. Automatic checks live in Settings → About. Coming from 0.36.0 or earlier? Midas moved to its own app identity in 0.37.0, so download the latest release once and replace your copy; updates are automatic again afterwards, and widgets need to be re-added once.
