What Glideslope Does
Glideslope is a tiny open-source menu bar app that tracks Codex and Claude Code usage pressure side by side.
The icon is a dark circular gauge with bold line hands: a long line from the hub for each provider's weekly window and a short line at the rim for the ~5-hour window, color-coded (Codex teal, Claude coral). A bright-red redline marks the hot end, so the most-constrained window reads at a glance.
Each provider is polled independently and a transient outage keeps the last-good reading rather than blanking the hands. The current release is an unsigned macOS ZIP; a signed and notarized download can come later when O+K has Apple Developer ID distribution set up.
