Built a Chrome extension for your Cursor Usage

Showcase
1

Hey everyone! Not sure if many people are like me, but I’m always looking for ways to avoid getting over the 500 limit, so I wanted to keep track of my usage, and decided to build a chrome extension to monitor my Cursor usage.

We’re all using Cursor AI for coding assistance, but some models have different consumption usage (thinking of Haiku especially) and it can be hard to keep track on how much we’re actually using when we want to stay within certain limits.

While building the extension, I also made a Telegram bot to access my Cursor usage from anywhere. Initially the extension was just to get the cookie token for the Telegram bot, but turned out having both is a quite nice combination.

The Chrome extension is a bit more visual, while the Telegram bot is more text-based.

Enjoy, and feel free to share any feedback :slight_smile:

very useful thank you, I skimmed through the codebase of the extension and nothing nefarious was found thankfully. I’m always hesitant installing random browser extensions. I typically export most extensions and load them unpacked to avoid updates. grabs tin foil hat

Totally understand your fear, and even though I have no reason to add anything nefarious, I am glad to have your “stamp of approval” :folded_hands:
