FuelBar[ Help ] Install · Fix · Contact
Help. Install it, fix it, or write to me.
Install
Pick your system. About a minute.
One payment gets you the Windows app (10 or 11) and the Mac app (macOS 14 or newer). To update later, come back to the home page; to remove it, run Uninstall.cmd on Windows, or press Uninstall FuelBar in Settings on the Mac. Both remove the app and, if you say so, your settings.
On Windows (10 or 11)
- 01
Pay and download
After paying you land on a page with FuelBar-Windows.zip. It is small: the app is a single script.
- 02
Unzip
Put the folder somewhere it can stay. The app runs from that folder.
- 03
Run Install.cmd
Double-click it. It builds the app, adds Desktop and Start menu shortcuts, starts the pill, and opens it whenever you sign in or unlock your PC. Windows may ask you to confirm first.
On a Mac (macOS 14 or newer)
- 01
Pay and download
After paying you land on a page with FuelBar-Mac.zip.
- 02
Unzip and move
Drag FuelBar to Applications.
- 03
Open it
Double-click FuelBar. Because the app is not from the App Store, macOS may stop it the first time. On macOS 15 or newer, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. On macOS 14, right-click the app and choose Open. You only do this once, and then it sits on the edge of your screen.
Answers
Can't sign in, or numbers not updating?
FuelBar has no account of its own. It reads the sign-in each tool already keeps on your computer, so most problems are fixed by opening that tool. If these answers don't solve it, contact me and I will help.

Tell me which tool it is and what the pill or Settings says. Attaching log.txt (see the last answer) helps a lot.
Claude shows old numbers, or Settings says "Sign in inside the Claude app"
You do not need to sign out and in again. When Claude Code is not signed in, FuelBar reads the numbers the Claude desktop app records, and the app only records them while it is open and in use. Press Connect next to Claude to open the app, leave it open for a few minutes, then right-click the pill and choose Refresh now. For live numbers that do not depend on the app, sign in to Claude Code once (Connect opens the sign-in for you when it is installed).
A tool is missing from the pill
Only tools you are signed in to on this computer appear. Open Settings (right-click the pill and choose Settings) and check that the tool's switch is on. If it shows "Not connected yet", press Connect, sign in in the app that opens, then wait a minute.
It says my sign-in has expired (Codex, Cursor, Freebuff)
Open that tool's own app once and use it for a moment. It renews its own sign-in, and FuelBar picks the new one up within a few minutes. Meanwhile the last numbers stay on screen, marked as old, with the time they were read.
Copilot asks me to sign in to GitHub
Press Connect next to Copilot. A one-time code appears in Settings and is copied for you. Paste it on github.com when the page opens and approve. No terminal needed. If the GitHub account has no Copilot plan, Copilot is hidden.
Antigravity says to open it
Antigravity has no public usage service, so FuelBar asks the Antigravity app running on your computer. Keep Antigravity (or its IDE) open. If it says the request was not accepted, restart Antigravity.
It says "Busy right now" or "Couldn't refresh"
The tool's service limits how often it can be asked, or your connection dropped. Nothing is wrong with your sign-in. The last numbers stay on screen and it tries again by itself every few minutes, and after your computer wakes from sleep. You can also right-click the pill and choose Refresh now.
The Connect button opens an app but nothing changes
Sign in inside the app that opened, then give it a minute. FuelBar checks again every 20 seconds for three minutes after you press Connect. If the app was already signed in, just leave it open.
Where do I find the log to send you?
Right-click the pill and choose Open log folder, then send log.txt. It lists, per tool, what state it is in and why, and never contains your sign-in details.
