Ceiling is a focused, local-first Windows companion for the AI subscriptions you actually use. It keeps rolling limits, reset times, and stale/error states visible from the system tray or a lightweight capacity strip above the taskbar.

The goal is not another giant provider dashboard. It is a fast, calm way to answer one question: how much AI capacity do I have left, and when does it reset?

Initial focus

  • OpenAI Codex
  • Claude
  • Cursor
  • Gemini / Google AI
  • GitHub Copilot

Additional providers remain available from the underlying foundation while Ceiling is narrowed around reliable support for the core five.

What Ceiling feels like

  • Taskbar-adjacent capacity strip: Windows 11 does not support old-style third-party taskbar toolbars, so Ceiling uses a transparent, always-on-top strip that sits just above the taskbar without stealing focus.
  • Tray at a glance: a compact flyout with each provider's remaining capacity, reset time, source, and freshness.
  • Truthful state: a visible distinction between live, cached, stale, and failed reads. No fake precision when a provider cannot report a limit cleanly.
  • Usage and reset alerts: optional toasts when you approach a limit, and when a window resets unexpectedly, is restored, or grants a banked reset.
  • Local first: credentials and usage data stay on the machine. Browser cookies, API keys, and login sources remain opt-in.
  • Windows-native: Tauri, React, and Rust; fast startup, low idle work, and system accent-aware appearance.

Ceiling runs on Windows 10 and 11.

The installer and portable build are code-signed. Ceiling is local-first: it reads usage from sources on your PC or from each provider's own usage endpoint, and never sends your credentials or usage data to Ceiling-operated servers. See How Ceiling gets your data for the per-provider detail.

Development

git clone https://github.com/tsouth89/ceiling.git
cd ceiling
pnpm --dir apps/desktop-tauri install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm --dir apps/desktop-tauri tauri:dev

The active desktop app lives in apps/desktop-tauri. Shared provider and usage logic lives in rust.

For the active implementation state and the next work items, see
docs/HANDOFF.md. For the tray and strip visual system, see
docs/CEILING_UI.md. Maintainers should follow the
release checklist for public builds.
