Show HN: I made a Mac app for rate limiting and monitoring LLM requests

https://github.com/quilrai/LLMWatcher/releases/latest/downlo... - Signed and Notarized app

I use coding agents (claude code, codex, cursor etc) a lot and wanted a lightweight app which

1 - have searchable logs of all conversations 2 - rate limit or get notified if using too much context length (-especially useful for reminding myself to use a new session)

3 - block api keys etc from going to LLM providers

4 - get overview of tokens, tools used, and other interesting information

So, I made LLMWatcher

Using base url feature supported by most of the coding agents, LLMWatcher sits in the middle of coding sessions and can do all the above + some extra goodies

Also has a LLM Gateway feature, which can be used to get monitored/ proxied URLs with controls for any LLMs

Would love some feedback on this and to know if anyone finds it useful

Note: Always wanted to make desktop apps, and Tauri made it very easy to do so. Attempted with python first but got dragged into signing and packaging hell
