Releases

tokenuse 0.0.6, named Dark Tray, tightens the desktop app around a dark native shell, a compact 24-hour menu-bar popover, desktop startup controls, and an Apple Silicon-only macOS DMG.

Highlights

• The desktop app now forces dark native chrome and dark in-app scrollbars so the window matches the Token Use console palette even when macOS is in light mode.
• Clicking the macOS Dock icon now restores the hidden desktop window when Token Use is still running in the background.
• Left-clicking the desktop tray/menu-bar icon now opens a compact dark 24-hour usage popover, while the right-click menu still offers Show Token Use and Quit Token Use.
• The desktop Config page now includes Open at Login and Dock/taskbar icon toggles, backed by the shared config.json desktop settings block.
• macOS desktop release builds now publish an Apple Silicon DMG as tokenuse-desktop-macos-arm64.dmg; the Homebrew desktop cask now points at that arm64-only artifact.

Desktop Chrome

The Tauri app now requests dark native chrome and keeps the webview in a dark color scheme, including scrollbars inside dashboard panels, modals, and detail panes. This keeps the macOS titlebar and in-app chrome aligned with the Token Use console palette even when the system appearance is light.

The macOS Dock reopen event now restores the hidden main window when Token Use is still running in the background.

Menu-Bar Popover

The tray/menu-bar left-click action now opens a small 24-hour popover instead of immediately restoring the full dashboard. The popover shows current 24-hour cost, calls, tokens, cache hit, activity, and top model usage, with an Open action for the full app. Right-click keeps the native menu with Show Token Use and Quit Token Use.

The popover uses a dedicated 24-hour snapshot, so opening it does not change the main window's current period, project, tool, or sort selection.

Desktop Settings

The desktop Config page now includes:

• Open at login, off by default.
• Dock/taskbar icon, visible by default.

These settings are stored in config.json under desktop. On macOS, the Dock setting controls Dock visibility; on Windows and Linux, Token Use applies the closest supported taskbar visibility behavior.

Packaging

macOS desktop releases now publish the Apple Silicon DMG as tokenuse-desktop-macos-arm64.dmg with a matching checksum. The Homebrew tokenuse-desktop cask points at that arm64-only artifact.

CLI/TUI macOS Intel and Apple Silicon release assets remain unchanged.

Notes

• Existing configs load the new desktop settings through defaults; no migration step is required.
• Linux tray click support still depends on the desktop environment, so the right-click tray menu remains the fallback path.
• Local usage analysis remains local-only. Network calls are limited to explicit Config-page downloads or maintainer refresh and release paths.
• The release tag should be v0.0.6 and must match the root Cargo package, desktop Cargo package, desktop package.json, and Tauri config versions.
