Wtf does this do

AI Ops is a local dashboard and menubar app for Mac users who juggle multiple AI coding subscriptions, such as several Claude accounts or OpenAI's Codex, and regularly bump into usage limits in the middle of a task. Instead of switching accounts by manually logging in and out of the command line, AI Ops puts every account's usage, plan, and status in one window, with a single click to switch which account is currently active. For each connected Claude or Codex account, the dashboard shows live usage bars covering the current session, the week, and specific models, along with the plan type and when limits reset. Accounts are added by signing in through a normal browser login flow, so users do not need to copy and paste access tokens by hand, though a manual paste option exists as a fallback. If a usage check fails or is temporarily rate limited, the app keeps showing the last known values instead of leaving the screen blank. Beyond account switching, AI Ops also acts as a control panel for a developer's broader AI setup. It lists scheduled automation jobs from cron and launchd with their status and last run time, shows every configured MCP server along with its settings, and lists all installed Claude and Codex skills in a searchable view. It can also browse past Claude Code coding sessions and resume any of them directly in the terminal. A native macOS menubar app provides the same information at a glance from a small popover, without needing to open a browser tab. Everything runs entirely on the user's own machine. The local server only listens on the machine itself, account credentials are stored in the macOS Keychain or a local config folder, and nothing is uploaded to any external server. The project requires macOS 13 or newer for the menubar app, Node.js, and the Claude Code and Codex command line tools already installed. It is released under the MIT license and was built by AI Makers.
